"content": "woman is pregnant. The temptation is that they then go further to want to give medication that can interfere with that pregnancy, which is extremely dangerous. In other instances, the urine test can warn you whether you have diabetes and in the process, the pharmacist attempts to dispense medicine without a prescription from a doctor of medicine to the extent that he makes the diabetes go completely out of control. What is even more frequent is the issue of blood pressure. They ask people to take a blood pressure test and one figure like this and he gives medicine. Patients have been reported to swallow those anti-hypertensives and collapse in their houses, because the pharmacist does not have a clinical mind to know that if the blood pressure is above normal by 10 or 20 units, this is the level you should give. Lastly, is an additional thought which I wanted you to include: The way you have put these provisions, this law will end up jailing traditional birth attendants. You have not accommodated them - the Wakunga. They do a very good job. We have to include them here. Secondly, the law will end up jailing traditional circumcision experts. They abound in Luyhia land and most of these Bantu circumcising communities, Maasais and so on. We also need to coin it so that we accommodate traditional herbalists. They give medical treatment and very good treatment while at it. I wish to second you and point out those issues."
