    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer in the country causing the greatest number of deaths with at least eight to 10 women succumbing every day to the disease; further aware that most women diagnosed with pre-cancerous changes in the cervix are in their 20s and 30s, but the average age of women when they are diagnosed with cervical cancer is mid-50s; considering that the human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viruses in the world with four out of five (80 per cent) persons getting some type of HPV at least once in a lifetime; cognisant of the fact that men and women can get HPV typically with the immune system getting rid of HPV without needing treatment; deeply concerned that the HPV is a major risk factor of cervical cancer with nearly 99.7 percent of cervical cancers being caused by infection from high risk HPV; appreciating that cervical cancer could be totally eliminated and further by putting preventative measures through timely treatments; this House, therefore, resolves that the national Government rolls out free screening services to all women and issuance of the HPV vaccines to boys and girls to reduce the mortality rates and completely eradicate deaths caused by cervical cancer in the country."
