Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi has called on the National Government to allocate more funds towards the fight against cancer.

Speaking in Meru Town during the world Cancer Day, Governor Kiraitu noted that a lot of Kenyans are being forced to spend millions of shillings as they seek treatment for cancer locally and abroad.

Kiraitu noted that the fight against cancer can only be won through screening and early detection adding that an estimated 3,000 lives are lost annually due to cancer in Meru County.

“My Government is putting a lot of emphasis on preventive and promotive health. Screening and early detection is an effective way of controlling cancer.” Governor Kiraitu said.

He lauded efforts by the national government to battle the menace amid the challenges.

During the function, Meru County received from the National Government five chemotherapy chairs, a Biosafety Cabinet, breast cancer screening gadgets and several consignments of chemotherapy drugs.

Meru County is among 10 counties that are being supported by the Ministry of Health to have a fully-fledged Chemotherapy Centre.
