"content": "I am thankful to God that almost a year after the pandemic landed on our land, we have lost very few people and I am very grateful to God for that. However, between the time that COVID-19 arrived here and today, the number of people that we have lost to cancer is almost 10 times, but you do not see that panic reaction, that urge by Government to deal with cancer. This is a collective shame to many of us. When we attend burials of people who have succumbed to cancer, that is when we hear all the declarations from everyone in Government. They say things like: “From today, we need to focus our attention on cancer; this thing is finishing our people; we are going to set up a referral hospital and a screening center for cancer.” However, once we are done by with the burial rites, on the same day, we forget and wait for another day when we will meet and again talk about how serious cancer is after it has claimed yet another life. We should move beyond talk, and walk the talk as a country."
