• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: people being handled by good Samaritans when they have accidents and in the process of being moved from one place to another, they have suffered much more than even getting the assistance that they deserve. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The main purpose of having emergency medical services is to provide immediate medical care to those who need it, without which heart attacks and accidents would lead to many more fatalities. Emergency medical services simply exist in order to give us all a better quality of life. Emergency medical services provide and aid medical assistance, from primary response to definitive care involving personnel trained in rescue, stabilisation and transportation. The benefits of emergency medical services include facilitation of prompt response in emergencies, decrease of mortality and morbidity, especially in trauma cases; decrease of mortality in medical emergencies, improvement of efficiency ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: standardized curriculum, training and method of certification for emergency medical services is fundamental in this country. The standardization of the curriculum, training and certification should cut across various levels of emergency medical services personnel and institutions in this country. We need basic equipment in all public institutions. We should also know people who can handle and manage emergencies accordingly. Factors that need to be considered include evaluating what we have at the moment and coming up with training programmes and certifications so that our public health institutions are up to date. We should also have a coordinated mechanism of handling ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this chance to add my voice on this very important Bill. I thank Hon. Neto for coming up with this important Bill that creates a board that will ensure that there are provisions for training, registration and licencing of health records and information managers. Health records are very important for us who are in the health sector. We really need proper health records and proper managers, who will ensure that records are properly kept. In fact, keeping records is a core function in healthcare management. I support this Bill. It needs ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: On the issue of confidentiality and the sensitive nature of healthcare records, it is very important that we have health records and information managers who know what they are doing, and who are regulated. So, without proper health records, it is impossible to have a true picture of the health situation in the country. Health statistics and information are very important for planning in healthcare delivery and financing in the country. So, the importance of healthcare statistics cannot be undermined. It is important that we have this Bill. Records properly kept and managed will go along way in improving the ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: It is important that we have good records, so that we can shape our health policy decisions and that we may have proper evidence-based practice in identifying health risk factors for diseases and promote preventive healthcare in our country. I support this and I know that we are coming up with many boards, especially in healthcare. This particular one is important. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Those of us who are in the Departmental Committee on Health should sit and make sure that we come up with proper amendments, so that this Bill goes through with the necessary amendments. We need proper healthcare, especially now with our devolved system. We need to do comparison of health situations in different counties, and put together all the health issues in a manner that will enable trained health managers to help out. With proper digitized systems, I am sure this country will move a notch higher in health matters. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do support this. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to air my views on this very important Bill. The Small Claims Court Bill is very important, and I stand here to support it. This is one court that will bring justice closer to the people. The way it has been crafted, it will bring instant justice to people who have suffered for a long time and were not able to access justice. These people will include women, youth, the elderly, persons with disabilities, children and disadvantaged persons who have small claims to make, and who are not able to access ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Many women down there are very much intimidated by court rooms; this informal way of doing business in courts will be acceptable and welcome. Many people who have been denied justice for so long will now be able to access the justice that they deserve. I like clause 15, which captures the functions of the Small Claims Court quite well; it will promote access to justice to large populations that have been rendered helpless due to difficulties in accessing justice. view
