This Bill went through public participation and ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, looking at this Bill and the timing, a lot of things are happening within our counties that require guidance and legislation.

The increased burden on an already stretched healthcare system demands new and dynamic ways of operating. This proposed amendment serves to ensure the responsiveness of the healthcare system to the ever evolving nature of cancer prevention and control. ... view
