    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once the funds are set aside, then we shall, as a country, improve patients' access to cancer drugs and treatment. We shall be able to train experts who will then address the cancer issues all over the country. We shall be able to acquire equipment and all commodities including medicines that we need for the treatment of the patients in the country. We know that there are cancer challenges in addressing the issues of cancer, but the Government cannot afford to let it be a responsibility of charities to address such an ailment. I want to observe that cancer mortality is on the rise in the country, survival rates are declining and cancer patients’ care is also deteriorating. These are some of the concerns that we must address by getting real experts to do the job. There is need for enhanced financial investment in cancer to help deliver an expanded cancer workforce with multidisciplinary background to provide higher quality care and more advanced equipment."
