    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is something that should be done. Once it is done, the Government should try to give incentives to private investors both local and international to invest even in small towns in our communities. With that, they can transfer technology to our people, so that the cost of training becomes lower. Technology transfer is something that we need to think about as a country. Today, with modern means of communicating in the e-world, everybody should be able to transfer technology with ease. I also look at our hospitals. As Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal said, in our hospitals, simple things like testing, education and basic research can be done. I believe if this is done, besides employing oncologists, our country should be able to fight this menace. My friend was in Italy for one year and every other day, people were travelling to Italy and spent a lot of money. I imagine the instability that was in that family. One of the sons decided not to follow the norms of the family and became a very difficult person to live with just because the parents were away. Such costs could be avoided if we have technology right at the doorstep. The time for telemedicine is today. If proper and adequate measures are taken to train our people not only oncologists, but even nurses who can handle cancer cases, I believe we can save our families from suffering. They can save their money, time and other costs that cannot be quantified. I, therefore, support this Motion and wish that the Jubilee Government, which I am associated with, can make this a reality as soon as possible. I support.
