    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Statement. This Statement should not be taken lightly. When it comes to human life, medics should conform to the swearing they take before they begin their job. They actually affirm that they will take care of and save lives. Therefore, they should stick to what they swear by before man and God. It is unfortunate that the medics at MP Shah Hospital decided to be money happy and put money before saving human lives. Article 43 (1) (a) of the Constitution states clearly that every person has a right to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to healthcare services including reproductive healthcare. Medics should, therefore, know very well that theirs is a calling. It is not a matter of money but that of saving lives. Not everyone has got the gift of putting others first. I want to condemn that act and also suggest that in cases of emergency, especially during times of pandemics, the Government should put in place mechanisms that speak to issues of emergencies. This is so that in a situation where there is an emergency, even during times of curfew, there should be at least a telephone number that people can call and report emergencies, in order to save lives. We need to be our brothers’ keepers. Actually, I support this Statement and it should go to the right Committee. The Committee should also bring a proposal that hospitals should first listen to people with such like problems and take the little money that they have, then, they can be allowed to 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."
