    "content": "I represent a constituency whose people have to travel over 50 kilometres to reach the nearest health facility. Therefore, the healthcare they have access to is alternative medicine which is administered by our traditional medicine men and women. It is high time as a country we tried to see how this can be regulated. The expanded definition of “drug” under the proposed amendment also covers cosmetics and nutrition formulations. This is also important. We realise that incidents of cancer are on the rise. Although I do not have any scientific research findings to back my claim, there is suspicion that abuse of drugs including cosmetics contribute to some of these cancer cases, especially skin cancer. Therefore with the broadened definition, all these health products and medical substances will be subjected to very strict regulation."
