    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to note that the doctors’ strike has taken a toll on our people. I recommend that we have a healthcare commission to harmonise the quality of services given by the doctors in every county, so that we can ensure that transfers are possible whenever a doctor wants to move from one county to another. That way, we are going to ensure that the quality of services is transferred. Christa Marianne Hospital in my constituency has supported patients during the doctors’ strike, but has not been refunded by the county government. We will have to force the county government to step in and finance that kind of a hospital especially in the delivery of babies because health is a function of the county governments. County governments have failed us in that front. We need to find a way to compel the county governments to support private hospitals, especially those that are providing basic functions like maternity services."
