"content": "Change is inevitable. We all have to accept it and the best ways to manage it so that it is useful to us. That change in our case means amending the health laws or any other law for that matter. We should not fear to amend it. This Bill amends the health laws, but the Committee has also proposed amendments. I am sure the House will know them when we get to the Committee of the whole House. We hope that Members will support us. I believe that when we are amending the health laws, we should not fear. We should also not fear to amend the Constitution. The health laws, which we have, fail to move with the times. We have health laws that are outdated and remain in the past. They do not cater or address our present problems and anticipate the future. A good law should deal with the current issues and anticipate the future. This Bill attempts to correct that anomaly. That is why you will find that the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board is being changed to the Kenya Medical and Dental Council, so that we can adequately address the changes that we want to make."
