The Victorian Health Minister recently stated that the State Budget would comprise an additional $150-million dollars to improvise on survival rate of the cancer patients. Statistics show that for about 60 per cent of people those are cared for cancer are free of indications of the disease even after five years.
The Health Minister, Daniel Andrews, say the Government desires to raise that figure to 74 per cent, within next six years. He stated the money would be spent using screening to analyze cancer previous and to fast interpret research into life saving handling. "In 1990, just 48 per cent of cancer suffers survived their cancer," he said. " 2004, it was 61 per cent. But 2015, under this package and under our commitment to supporting cancer patients, we want to increase that to 74 per cent."
