I have had an experience of going to Aga Khan Hospital where I wanted to be tested for cancer, I was told that our medical cover does not cover any test on cancer. If medical insurance companies cannot cover cancer screening; what about the guys in the village who do not have an opportunity to even get access to insurance? I rise to support this Motion by Hon. (Dr.) Tum and say that it is timely."}
