Deputy Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah has flagged off the Nkesiga Foundation Cancer Walk at Nakasero Primary School Playgrounds, with a major call to the public to pull resources together and join the fight against the killer disease.
The DS said that each and every one can contribute to the fight by taking the step towards healthy living through physical activity and exercise.
He also commended Rev. Diana who he says has committed all her life to see that we eliminate this disease.
He revealed that the government is taking all possible ways to fight cancer and facilitate quicker diagnosis in the country.
“Government is working hard to regionalize Cancer institutes to increase access to treatment and facilitate quicker diagnosis,” said Ouilanyah.
