]]> The speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga has called for a mandatory tasting for cancer in Uganda as way of combating the disease in the country.

Speaking at the inauguration of health week in the parliamentary commission Kadaga said that the proposal for mandatory tasting was made last year but government is yet to take action.

She said that other countries have adopted the tradition and it has worked well for them

Kadaga also called upon government to fulfill the president’s pledge in the manifesto for putiing aside a fund for the vaccination of children against cancer. She called upon the mps to support the program in order to fight the increase of cancer in Uganda.

Incidences of cancer are on the increase in Uganda due to lifestyle changes such as increased consumption of fatty foods, alcohol, heavy smoking and little exercises.

The activities of the week will include among others; voluntary counseling and testing, blood donation, safe medical male circumcision, breast and cervical cancer screening, health fitness checks and exhibition from medical science providers.
