Speaking during a discussion on the motion of thanks on the President’s Address in Rajya Sabha, Murty on July 2 spoke about women’s health and pressed for promotion of the government-sponsored vaccination programme to combat cervical cancer.

“There is a vaccination which is given to girls, between the age of nine and 14, known as a cervical vaccination. If the girls take that, it (cancer) can be avoided… we should promote vaccination for the benefit of our girls,” she said.
