MOTION URGING KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICE TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF KOGI STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY

Rt. Honorable Speaker and my Distinguished Members Of the House, I have the pleasure to move this motion which concerns the general welfare of members, staff, dependants and even visitors to the Kogi state House of Assembly, by drawing your attention to its deplorable condition.

The establishment of the House Clinic to deliver basic health needs of the Assembly is incapacitated by lack of fundamental resources and facilities inherent in an institution that is designed to provide a comprehensive health care delivery system.

Whereas the house clinic is to provide first aid for an ill or injured person before regular medical treatment, the House clinic transcends mere care by mediocre or junior medical personnel in view of the high caliber public office holders as honorable members, staff and even visitors to the Assembly Complex.

Notwithstanding the senior matrons and nurses and other support staff, the clinic lacks in equipment and personal to treat critical, specialized and time bound emergencies when the occur. We have no Consultants and Doctors let alone basic tools to conduct tests and diagnosis. Our nurses are constrained to only obtain blood pressures and body temperatures and at best referrals.

Good to note that the Government House clinic in the office of the Governor or Government House is equipped to a large extent with basic equipment for health delivery, as well as availability of Consultants and Doctors, ambulances and other support facilities and Convenience.

There is need therefore for the Kogi State Government and indeed the Kogi State House of Assembly to provide for a comprehensive health system for the Kogi State House of Assembly to cater for first aid or emergencies and routine or regular medical services. Health care delivery system of the House Should go beyond the treatment or diagnosis of symptoms but must also involve monitoring, prevention, detection, follow_up and rehabilitation of patients using the services of many Professionals working together.

Rt. Honouorable Speaker Sir, the challenges of modern medical delivery system demands more than what obtains in the House of Assembly today. It is against this background that I beg to move as follows;

1. That the Kogi State Government and Indeed the House to provide comprehensive health delivery system for the Honouorable members, Staff and dependants to cater for the emergent health needs.

2. As a corollary to (I) above, the Kogi State Ministry of Health and Social Services, ad s matter of urgency, post consultants and Doctors and supply basic medical equipment to the House clinic  immediately, to cater for the health needs of  the Honouorable members, staff and dependants.

3. That Kogi State Government should award the contract for the construction of a benefitting health center for the Assembly Complex and

4. Government should immediately Supply an ambulance to the House Clinic to take care of emergencies.

CONCLUSION
Mr. Speaker Sir and my esteemed colleagues, it is my pleasure, in view of the foregoing, to humbly call on you to support me in this bid to draw the attention of government to our own immediate health needs.

It is my hope and desire that the timely intervention of this Honouorable House would ameliorate this poor condition of basic health care delivery service.

I therefore move that the prayers 1-4 above be adopted.

Thank you all.
