Policewomen and wives of policemen as well as daughters from the National Captial District (NCD) and Central Provincial Commands, will now be privileged to do free breast cancer checkups that will be provided by the Chinese embassy here in Port Moresby city. This is an initiative from the new commander of NCD and Central Province, Chief Superintendent Benjamin Turi. Commander Turi, who resumed his duties this week, organized the medical team who visited his office at Boroko to negotiate how best to help the policewomen, the policemen's wives, and their daughters learn the status of this deadly disease. Turi said that since the test is free, all police officers in the command are encouraged to provide the names of those in their families who are recognized by the police department. His office will provide the total number to the Chinese medical team to book a venue for testing next week. “Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC) has been very helpful in raising funds to help the fight against cancer. We had lost families and relatives who could not cure themselves from breast cancer and we also have police officers who are always busy with work and spend less time with their families to visit hospitals and do checkups.” He said that since the Chinese medical team had come forward to help, he wanted all to submit names as soon as possible so they could go by the names. For those who are outside of the city, we will discuss that and will see how best we can reach out to you all. “This is a start, and we will continue. I want all police station commanders to go through your manpower list and provide names for the females who will come for the testing.” “We must think about our female colleagues and our wives, mothers and daughters. Cancer is a killer disease, so the earlier, the better.” Furthermore, a venue will be selected when the names are submitted to his office.
