Senator Gershom Bassey Reactions To World Cancer Day.

Senator Gershom Bassey World Cancer Day Message To All Cancer Patient And Nigerians.

Today, we are reminded of those among us who are currently battling with Cancer.
Those who are still trying to grasp the implications of the report of their condition. Those currently undergoing treatment and those who are suddenly battling finances due to the financial implications of Cancer Care.

As the world moves races against time in the war against cancer, we as a people must rally round and encourage ourselves. We must begin to innovate and chart productive ways to close the care gap.

We need to provide access to screening and early diagnosis. We need to educate our people, and send the messages across to the rural areas.
We need to implement programs to reduce the burden of cancer treatment and to make those treatment options accessible.

This is the responsibility of government. It is part of our social contract. It is one I am committed to in the Cross River State that I plan to build.

Government cannot continue to look away.
