    "content": "Nowadays health practitioners divulge their clients’ or patients’ medical conditions before informing them and that is when you find strangers talking about people’s health. An example is the COVID-19 disease that we are living with right now; you find that everyone is a suspect and everyone is stigmatized. When this Bill becomes law, it will limit information leaking to people who are not necessarily supposed to be the owners or authors of that information. It is important that confidentiality as enacted here, especially with the regard to health practitioners, remains the way it is. I fully support this Bill because if what is in this Bill is adhered to and not misused, then we have a Bill that the Ministry of Health will ride on. It will also result to better information instead of subjecting people to fear and stigmatization. This Bill speaks to itself and is straightforward. It has all the legal information that we need to get and all the rights that people deserve, especially rights to reproductive health and how we can manage information when it comes to reproductive health. When it comes to reproductive health, men seem to be an island of their own. They are not anywhere near. Once you have the baby in your womb, it is no longer the duty and responsibility of a man. When we talk about legal fees and the responsibilities of a family when it comes to reproductive health, the child belongs to that family. Both a man and a woman need to be there and be subjected to the all the dangers the woman will go through until birth."
