Sudha Murty calls for govt-backed Cervical Cancer Vaccine Program in her maiden parliamentary speech

Philanthropist and author Sudha Murty on Tuesday pressed for a government-sponsored vaccination programme to combat cervical cancer. In her maiden speech in the Rajya Sabha, she also pitched for promoting domestic tourism. Murty was nominated by the President to the upper house on the eve of International Women's Day. "There is a vaccination which is given to girls, between the age of nine to 14, known as a cervical vaccination. If the girls take that, it (cancer) can be avoided ... we should promote vaccination for the benefit of our girls because prevention is better than cure," Murty said.

Very useful and sensible suggestions Government should make note of the same.

First MP in this session who did her job right and valued tax payer money. All other MP's are just busy poking each other like kids in kindergarten. Thank Mam for your valuable inputs . Modi ji and Rahul ji learn from her and teach your MP,s the same so that nation can progress and taxpayers money is not wasted. Have some shame.

Sudha is a hypocrite and a drama queen. Be careful about her...

Yes right 💯

[@akashdash2815]

Start checking if vaccination becomes the norm which companies stand to benefit and what stakes Murthys have there. You will get your answer.
