    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also support this Bill. Cancer patients have a lot of challenges, including access to information. When cancer strikes a family, it really exhausts their resources. Information is very important for those patients because they need to be assisted. If this technology will assist them to get information and be diagnosed from where they are, then this is a good Bill. The Bill tries to secure the care of those people wherever they are. Cancer is a tough disease in the whole world. This is a good Bill because it seeks to allow patients in rural areas to access those services. This is the way we should go as a country. This Bill provides relief to patients who used to visit hospitals several times and end up exhausting the resources they have. Technology has proved to be very important and helpful because people who live far from cancer hospitals and in remote areas can now access those services. Many cancer patients are suffering because of lack of information. This Bill has come at a time when we need to get the right information and early treatment of those patients. We need to support this Bill for the sake of the people we represent because of the challenges they undergo. Information is power, as people say. Communities need to understand cancer because in some areas, people still fear when someone is diagnosed with cancer. Communities still have a lot of fear concerning it. The environment should be supported so that those patients can get information and treatment away from the hospitals. It will also be good if this technology will assist patients to get medication without incurring travel costs to go and see doctors. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill."
