    "content": "Kenyans deserve proper healthcare and we, as the people elected to steer policy in this country, have to ensure that ordinary Kenyans can access medi-care using this law. I have looked at Clause 7 of this Bill, and I have seen an attempt by this Bill to curtail the Constitution. I would like to go ahead and suggest that the emergency care specified in Clause 7(3) must have mandatory capabilities that each and every licensed medical institution in this country must have. We cannot have any medical institution giving false hope to Kenyans. If you are a licensed medical institution, you must, at least, be able to give pre-hospital care. You must also be able to stabilize the health status of an individual or arrange for a referral. If you do not have an ambulance to refer a patient who is in emergency, then you do not have the right to have a licence to practise medicine in Kenya. Clause 7 must be amended when we go to the Committee of the whole House, and the provision in Clause 7(2) must be deleted completely. Every medical institution licensed in Kenya must offer emergency treatment whenever needed."
