Goans are quite smart. So please don't listen to anyone tell you that they
cannot think on their feet.
Please also don't let anybody deceive you with false information regarding
public health. In line with the corrections that Bosco posted separately, the
top 10 causes of death in India do not include cancer. The claim earlier that
one in three deaths are due to cancer is bogus. Also irresponsible and false is
the blanket claim that cancer is incurable.
Here are the top 10 causes of death in India, all of which are curable and/or
preventable:
Ischemic heart disease - 15% of all deaths
Lower respiratory infections - 11% of all deaths
Cerebrovascular disease - 7% of all deaths
Perinatal conditions - 7% of all deaths
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - 5% of all deaths
Diarrheal diseases - 4% of all deaths
Tuberculosis - 4% of all deaths
HIV/AIDS - 3% of all deaths
Road traffic accidents - 2% of all deaths
Self-inflicted injuries - 2% of all deaths
The death rate from cancer is about 1.5% of all deaths. Apollo Cancer
Institutes and other prominent cancer institutes have reported that with modern
scientific medical treatment and latest technologies of early detection almost
70 - 80% of cancer patients can be cured.
Cheers,
Santosh
