• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support this Motion by Hon. Tecla Tum. As I do so, we need to urge the Ministry of Health to intensify its efforts in documenting curable, preventable and manageable diseases in this country so that we can address them early enough and not just wait to see what the country went through the last one month when we lost prominent people. view
• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: The proposal by our Member is on HPV, which is the main cause of cervical cancer. The proposal to have early vaccination for boys and girls would go a long way in preventing the virus. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: As we do so, it is important that we intensify creating awareness on some of these diseases. While this virus is one of the causes of cervical cancer, there are many other known and documented reasons why one would get cervical cancer. One of them is having many sexual partners, smoking, use of oral contraceptives over a long period of time and engaging in early sexual behaviour. These are not acquired in hospitals or clinics and we should intensify creation of awareness to our people. This is especially during early childhood stages in our educational institutions. Those topics should be ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, I urge that, as we look at such Motions on prevention and management, we also intensify on creation of awareness so that our people may live better healthy lives. As I support this Motion, I recognise that cervical cancer is one of the problems that we have in this country. There are many other cancers. On the side of men, we have prostate cancer which also needs screening during early stages and should be managed similarly to other types of cancers. So, I urge the Ministry of Health to put more efforts on documentation of diseases which need early ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: It is high time that, as a country, we relooked at our medical services and especially on management. We need to review how our counties are capable of managing health services. We also need to relook at the budget that we attach to our health services so that, as we look for preventive ways, we see what we have at hand. Health Services are devolved.

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: how long those services have been in the hands of counties and ask ourselves whether they have the capacity or whether we have capacitated them to manage health services. When we talk about early cancer screening, do our 47 counties have the capability and capacity to provide those screening services? As a House, are we providing them with enough budgetary resources so that they can provide the services we are recommending? We have made many recommendations through such Motions in this House. Most of them are passed, but they are not implemented. They are not given any budgetary allocation and ... view
