The Premier, Ebrahim Rasool, will today accompany the First Lady, Roshieda Shabodien to the Newlands Surgical Clinic for her cervical test as part of his challenge to all men to encourage their spouses to be tested.

Yesterday, as part of the Siyabulela Deliverables, the Department of Health rolled out a 30-10-1 campaign in the aim of reducing cervical cancer by 64,2.%. The message from the Premier is for women to spread the message about pap smears in the same way the women did in 1956.
