"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to second the Motion. Before I do so, I also wish to join you in welcoming the visiting students. We have a delegation from Tegla Loroupe Primary School. Tegla Loroupe Primary School is named after a great lady who not only succeeded in sports, but also in bringing the community together by spearheading peace process in her community. Students from both Vihiga and West Pokot counties should emulate that lady because she has far- reaching impact in this country. Madam Speaker, I wish to second the Motion by Sen. Pareno. She has done justice to the Motion in such a way that it leaves very little space for anybody else to say anything because she covered almost everything. Tele-medicine is now replacing face-to- face interaction through the use of technology. Yesterday, we discussed in this House a Bill on cancer and health in general. Other than Nairobi City County, we have oncologists in Mombasa, Kisumu, Uasin Gishu, Embu and Nyeri counties. If telemedicine was to become a reality, other counties, including my own county, will have oncologists. There is an advantage of embracing telemedicine technology. The cost of accommodation and travel for patients is greatly reduced if hospitals are linked. For example, a hospital in need for an oncologist should be linked to another that has none, so as to communicate through the tele-medicine system to ensure that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
