Fighting Cancer: Bill to establish institute passes second reading

Nigerians spend at least one hundred million dollars annually in the treatment of cancer abroad.
Members of the House of Representatives, disclosed this when the House passed for second reading a bill for an Act to establish the National Cancer Institute for prevention, treatment and control of cancer in the country.
Sunday Karimi, who sponsored the bill,  explained that the bill when passed into law will establish the National Cancer institute that will serve as the country's principal agency for the research on cancer related issues in the country.
The Lawmaker, expressed optimism that the Institute will minimise the rate of deaths caused by cancer in the country.
Supporting the bill, lawmakers decried that cancer had caused a lot of havoc in the country, lamenting that Nigeria has only one cancer treatment machine in the country.
The Speaker of the House referred the bill to the Committees on
Health Institutions and Health Care Services for further legislative input.
