"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, establishing this Fund through the National Cancer Institute of Kenya will help the country collect, analyse, and disseminate data regarding cancer issues. I note with concern that we do not have the data on how many patients we have lost to cancer. We do not even have enough data on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the same. Establishing this Fund will empower these institutions and the NGOs keen on eradicating cancer in the country. Now and then, we hold fundraisers for cancer patients. Many families go through financial distress and emotional stress because the Government does not have a fund for cancer patients. This Fund will help families overcome challenges and financial hardships during cancer treatment."
