    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, no one is more concerned about cancers, especially those that attack women, than I am. I am very concerned. I would like to inform all hon. Members that the public awareness campaign is about telling women to visit clinics, health centres and hospitals and get tested for pap smear. Pap smear is testing for any cancer cells which could be forming to become cancer later. We are intensifying the campaigns, and we have messages even on radio. I also ask hon. Members that in their development committees in the constituencies and political meetings they should deliver health messages. Hon. Members will be interested to know that we are in the process of forming grassroots health committees, under what we are calling the \"Community Health Strategy\", which will work with the trained officers from our health centres and clinics to deliver health messages right to the grassroots. That is the work they will be doing. We have distributed bicycles and motor cycles for the health workers to visit the constituencies to work with these committees. The Provincial Medical Officers (PMOs) are in the process of establishing those committees in all the constituencies. If you do not have such a committee in your constituency, let us know so that we can get our PMO to speed up formation of a committee. They will do a very good job in delivering health services to the doorsteps. Each health worker will have ten households to take care of. This means that there will be penetration right to the grassroots. Help us with the information. Give me more money because prevention is better than cure."
