PREVENTIVE CANCER CARE - STARTING FROM LAGOS, NIGERIA

                                         STARTING FROM LAGOS, NIGERIA

                                                        By Lanre Jacob



The Lanre-Jacob Savcoma Cancer Foundation's Preventive Cancer-care Advocacy was launched in Lagos, and is gradually spreading to other parts of Nigeria.

Through our recent collaboration with Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board, LJSCF now has access to carry out cancer education (including cancer screenings/tests) in about 300 Primary Health-care centers, and in all communities in Lagos state.

This means that we have a huge population of about 20 million people to educate, both in the urban and the rural parts of the state!
