    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me a chance to speak to this. I would like to oppose this particular amendment. This is the most important provision in the Health Bill. Article 43(2) of the Constitution speaks to the fact that a person shall not be denied emergency medical treatment. That being a constitutional guarantee, the law sets it very clearly under Article 24 on how you can limit that particular right. Taking away liability from health practitioners is a limitation and denial of that particular right. In fact, the least the Committee should have done is to maintain Clause 7, but delete Clause 7(2A). What the Committee is trying to do in Clause 7(2A) can be achieved by creating provisions in the Health Bill that will facilitate medical practitioners to get money to pay for emergency medical health care. This is not a very good provision. I oppose it."
