Britain's former prime minister Rishi Sunak is leading a campaign to make targeted prostate cancer screening a priority for the state-funded National Health Service (NHS) and has handed over an open letter backed by 125 cross-party MPs to Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
The country's first Indian-origin PM, now a backbench Conservative Party member of Parliament, wants the NHS to offer a regular screening programme to men at higher risk of the disease.
In the open letter delivered to Streeting on Monday, the 45-year-old is backed by his colleagues to call for “targeted screening” as a legacy-defining advance for men’s health.
