Survivors of Prostate Cancer with the Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum.

Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has urged men to be more upfront about their health.

While speaking during Prostate Cancer Awareness at the CWM Hospital, Sayed-Khaiyum says a lot of men get embarrassed about talking to their family about their health as they see it as not a very manly thing to do.

He says men can also have breast cancer.

The Attorney General says there is a lot of social taboos that we need to get over.

Sayed-Khaiyum also talked about when he first got a test for prostate cancer.
