    "content": "Fourthly, Madam Temporary Speaker, it is very often that patients overstay in hospitals because they need to be managed by physicians who are there in hospitals and yet we know that it is possible that we can manage most of the patients when they are at their homes. If we had these systems where we can communicate with our clients, we can very easily manage some of these patients in their homes. This can only be done if we have efficient ICT communication systems with our clients. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is also possible that with the ICT systems, we can build a huge database of our clients in the country, their ailments, the follow up and of all other matters that this database is going to be useful in several other ways. It will be the richest pool in which we can conduct medical research in our country because this information will be available. Similarly, this is information that we can use to combat and even improve the security of our country in terms of germ warfare, for example. If we had storage of this information in our database, we can offset or undertake some of those challenges that we have. Lastly, Madam Temporary Speaker, if we have a database which is efficient with all the information on budget making for the health sector, for the hospitals and for the institutions offering medical health care in the country would be significantly improved and correct. In that figures will not only be guessed figures, but they will be reliable figures that are derived from factual information contained in the database. This can only be realized if we have an ICT system that can be stored reliably and be used. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is with this in mind that I bring this Motion to the House and urge that Members of the Senate to support it so that we can access this very useful technology that is current and which is here with us and which does not require anything else for us to use. We are already trained in the handling of this information. We can handle the equipment which is there. I am sure this is one phase that is ready for utilization in this country. I, therefore, urge all the Senators in the House who would speak to this Motion to support it, so that we can continue to improve the offering of health services both at the national and at the county levels. With that, Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to ask my colleague, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, to second the Motion. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
