    "content": "With the level of efficiency that we want to introduce in our hospitals, it is very important that we have personnel that will take care of medical equipment. There are a lot of delays in Government hospitals all over the nation due to breakdown of equipment. Sometimes, they are very simple things, but because we do not have the right people or they are few, they become a problem. From the Bill, only 200 people are qualified. We should increase the number through certificate and diploma levels, so that we can have all levels of equipment maintenance and have people who are under their own regulations and who are catered for in a proper manner. No profession should be left without regulation. Without regulations, we will hear issues of rules and regulations of the biomedical doctors. I support the Bill, which is very important. As we move towards 2030 Vision, it is important for us to put our house in order in all aspects and spheres. It is very important that we have all the personnel that is needed in every sector of this country, not only in education, but also in medicine. Unhealthy nation cannot perform its duties, be it in education, agriculture or other disciplines effectively. So, it is important for us to pass this Bill, so that our Biomedical Engineers are properly taken care of. Some money will be required and there is need for a board to regulate it. There will be some financial provision, but it is worth it. I want to urge colleagues to support this Bill. With that, I support."
