    "content": "implements a national curriculum for emergency training of all medical personnel on emergency medical care. As we have seen, there are so many avenues that are lacking these emergency tools, such as the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) which are there but are not well equipped with facilities and lack of personnel who are supposed to handle the cases that are brought. We have talked about our fellow parliamentarians and the blood banks that are empty when emergencies are taken to the hospitals. So, the Government has to ensure that all these complications are taken care of. When treatment is delayed it leads to more complications and hospitals demand more resources from the patients or their families which they cannot afford. Recently, we were dealing with a case of an accident victim who spent 18 hours before he was attended to in three hospitals because they were demanding money. As we pursue to see what we are supposed to do, we need to ensure that medical emergencies are taken care of. We also need to ensure that penalties are enforced so that hospitals and doctors value lives of persons who have been taken to hospital. They should not demand money before they even know whether they are going to save the person’s life or not."
