Parliament is seeking to enact legislation to compel the authorities to ensure cancer treatment is part of primary healthcare.

This means that cancer, a disease affecting thousands, most of them under 70, and whose devastating effects extend to many households, will be treated at the basic level rather than at the specialized level as is currently the case.
