(Dr.) Tecla Tum for bringing this very important Motion. As she says, it is very timely.

I am not a medic but, studies show that we can contain cancer if we detect it early enough. A healthy nation is a wealthy nation. I want to encourage county governments in collaboration with the national Government to ensure that we have a functional cancer centre in every county. It will assist us big time. As I contribute, we attend functions – be it fundraisers, be it funerals – that are related to cancer almost every weekend in our constituencies.

I know there is a Bill coming up on the NHIF. I wish The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
