    "content": "Every citizen has the right of access to - (a) Information held by the State. Everyone has the right of access to information on a problem or an issue they do not understand. It is upon our medics and the Ministry of Health to have information on all these kinds of diseases that are affecting our people; how they are treated; how they are managed and how frequently they occur. We should have data showing the number of people suffering from sickle cell disease. We also need to encourage research in our medical colleges. Medics should research on what can be done in terms of health and nutrition. Do we have some kinds of food which if we consume, can improve the length of life for these kinds of people? Madam Temporary Speaker, after the research, the information should be disseminated to the public such that we are able to handle these diseases in our health centres in our counties and the country at large. There is also need for a support system just as one of my colleagues said. We need possibly to bring together academia, victims of this disease and researchers to share knowledge on what can be done to improve the systems of treatment and management of the disease. There is also need for a support system in our health clinics such that the patient is supported to manage the situation."
