    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. Before I contribute, I want to thank the Mover of this Motion, Hon. Nangabo, for bringing it to the Floor of this House. We all know that this is a vulnerable situation for women who are affected. This is a problem that affects all of us. If you are not suffering from it and other women are, we are all affected. The Mover of this Motion is requesting the Government to provide specialised training on fistula to surgeons and subsidise the cost of fistula treatment. I would like to add that we need to educate people about the cause of fistula. The Government should give free treatment of fistula and not subsidised fee for treatment of fistula. We should have fistula treatment service being given at sub-county hospitals, instead of patients travelling from rural areas and very long distances to get treatment. I believe that it is the responsibility of the Government to look into the issues of health services in our hospitals. The people of this country should get quality services in our hospitals. As we are talking about fistula, there are so many issues that the people of this country do not know. Information is power. There should be information available on fistula."
