"content": "When we get the fund, what shall we do? We should focus on awareness: awareness, awareness and awareness. Why do I recommend awareness? First of all, we have to know the other diseases giving us the biggest burden now. Basically, they are about four: cancer of the breast, cancer of the cervix, prostate cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. Cancer of the breasts and cancer of the cervix in women and prostate cancer in men can all be detected very early and stopped from progressing. Cervical cancer has a vaccine now; the Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine which countries like Tanzania have started giving to teenage girls. So, if we go for screening, we can prevent them. The other thing about the cervical cancer is that it can be screened at a health centre by just looking at the cervix and painting it with something as simple as lugol’s iodine. At that point, the treatment is very easy and can be done at health centres. We were trying to establish this by the year 2008."
