    "content": "The statistics are glaring. Allow me to read this out so that we understand the nasty situation cancer has caused. According to the GLOBOCAN Report of 2018 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2018, there were 47,887 new cancer cases in this country, and the mortality rate was 32,987. That accounts for almost 90 per cent death rate. That was in 2018. The current projection is that almost 100,000 people die of cancer annually. From the statistics, it means if there are 100,000 cases per year, then the mortality rate is 90,000 people every year. That means that every month we lose 7,500, which translates to 250 people per day and 10 per hour. If that does not prick the conscience of Members, the country and the Government, then I do not know what will. Losing 10 people per hour to cancer in this country is a national tragedy. It is a national disaster of monumental proportions."
