• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: The provision of private practice is good in that it will be done in a controlled and regulated manner. This goes to enhance safety for our citizens. The citizens will be safe in the hands of those who will be handling private practice. In my opinion, allowing private practice for those who have qualifications in this area will assist in absorbing a number of people who are qualified and have increased. We have a number of people with diploma in various branches of medicine including clinical training and nursing who are just idle in the villages. They do not have ... view
