Instead of being materialistic, why do we not instead, give some time to a killer amongst us, which decimates so many hundreds of our ladies.

Breast cancer is the name.

The National Breast Screening Campaign in UK started in 1988.

As a British Army Senior Medical Officer, I sent hundreds of my patients aged between 50 and 64 for mammograms since then.

Thankfully, a number of early cancers were detected, and the patients lived on.

In stark contrast, the ladies of this country scream for this campaign to be implemented.

Sadly and rather ironically, the present government seems to be impotent, in an area pertaining to the welfare of the female breast.

Consequently, hundreds of our ladies continue to die, when an organised screening programme could have saved some of them. How much is a life worth?
