KRG Committed to Supporting Cancer Patients: PM Barzani
ERBIL - The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) remains committed to supporting cancer patients, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani stated on Thursday.

"On WorldCancerDay, I send my thoughts to cancer survivors, those battling this disease, and the many it has taken from us. My government is committed to supporting patients like Zhalla and her family," he said referring to one of the cancer patients.

PM Barzani further explained that his government had invested over $60 million from the KRG's Cancer Fund "to give our medical teams the resources they need to treat cancer patients, including new and upgraded centers and drugs."

"We know that patients need all-round support. That’s why treatment at this center is free and offered to those in other parts of Iraq too. We also provide financial assistance when possible."
