    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Bill. As I support it, I want to congratulate the hon. Member who has brought this Bill and also other hon. Members who have spoken before me. I would like to, especially, thank the one who has just left the Floor because he has emphasized what I wanted to emphasize; that this Bill must carry the vulnerable group of pregnant women and children. So, I cannot say it better than he has said; that if this Bill does not give special emphasis to the most vulnerable who are pregnant women and children, then it will not serve its purpose. That is because those are the ones who are mostly affected by malaria. I also wanted to speak about medication and say that malaria medicine has become very expensive. The prevention of malaria has been left to the NGOs for a long time. It has become an issue of getting support from outside to your constituency to deal with the issue of malaria. It is high time that the Government took it as a serious Government issue so that, even without NGO support, the Government can tackle malaria. However, as you know, there is always something that is exciting the donor community. Today, it could be malaria and tomorrow, it could be HIV/AIDS. The other day, it could be the issue of governance. So, when we lose the interest of donor community on malaria, then we will have an increase of malaria because medicine is very expensive."
