    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to congratulate my friend, Hon. Abdul Rahim Dawood, for coming up with this very important Motion. He has captured it as if he is a medic. I want to thank him very much. The issue of fatal emergencies is a real one in our Republic. A good number of patients die because of very minor complications especially in accidents. Hon. Dawood captured it so well and indicated that the country has been experiencing a series of fatal emergency situations that necessitate the need for urgent medical care and blood transfusion. It has been unfortunate. We have lost a good number of people. I wish Hon. Dawood could have come up with statistics showing the number of people who have died because of minor complications. It is also a very big concern that we lack blood reserves. In my constituency, I met an old woman who had a complication of the kidneys. For around three days, she was looking for blood everywhere. We called a good number of hospitals to confirm if they had blood. Fortunately, I called a medical officer at Kapkatet and he told me that they had blood. It is very important for us to establish these centres, not necessarily at the constituency level, but even at the county level, so that we can have blood reserves to assist the patients who require blood transfusion."
