    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion. Many people have died of cancer. In fact, I have two ladies who are cancer patients. One has developed depression because she went to hospital and was told that she had breast cancer. Later, she was told that she did not have cancer. After giving birth, she found out that she had breast cancer. Right now, she is depressed. I urge the Government to deploy experts to deal with cancer. We are told that prevention is better than cure. I would advise the Government to check the chemicals that are used on our crops. We also need to find out the causes of cancer and renal diseases. The Ministry of Agriculture should sensitize the people on how to use the agricultural chemicals for us to prevent cancer. The other thing is buying of drugs without the doctor’s prescription. People buy over-the-counter medicines and fail to go to hospital for proper diagnosis. They take the wrong medicines and cause cancer or kidney problems. The facilities are also inadequate. So, I urge the Government to put in place adequate facilities to curb those diseases."
