• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers if it is detected early. That is why we call for awareness amongst our people and screening of boys and girls so that we can treat it early. The fight against cancer should be waged against all cancers because, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, around 40 per cent of cancer cases can be prevented through proper diet.

Member and also request the Committee on Implementation and Budget and Appropriations Committee to allocate a big share of money in the budget to screening services, so that we can assist what is being done by the county governments in order to cure our people.

Otherwise, more of our people will die of cancer like cervical cancer which can be ... view
