"content": "The Kenya Cancer Policy 2019-2030 provides for a framework to comprehensively address cancer control in Kenya through systematic implementation of evidence-based interventions for prevention, screening, timely diagnosis, treatment, survivorship and palliative care. Unfortunately, these are only suggestions. In reality, none of these ideas and suggestions have been implemented. As a nation, why should we allow people to die as we sit and watch? The NHIF needs to review their cover. When you have the NHIF Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Supacover, you can go to India and Apollo for treatment, but they do not cater for travel expenses. However, once you exhaust your limit, they will tell you that you have reached the maximum limit and that you need to consider selling your land or organise for a fund raising. As Members of Parliament, we do a lot of fundraising to save lives. As a nation, we should consider establishing a Cancer Prevention and Control Fund so that in instances like this, Kenyans will be saved and many people will continue to live in this country. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to contribute."
