The PRD deputy Gabriela Quiroga proposed to Congress that the Ministry of Health allocate a fund to guarantee free treatments for women with breast cancer.
The legislator asked as part of the right to health and as a basic service comprehensive care for this cancer, which implies having access to surgeries, breast reconstruction, radiotherapies, as well as chemotherapies.
“At this time, the fight is not only against a disease that steals more women every day, but is advancing and has begun to manifest itself in our girls and adolescents,” she declared.
He also emphasized that with the disappearance of Seguro Popular, it has been difficult for the Breast Cancer Foundation (FUCAM) to support women with this disease for free.
“Breast reconstruction is a fundamental part of comprehensive cancer treatment, and it is essential to ensure that it is available to women, especially those who have the least,” he concluded.
