Deaths from Cancer, which cuts across the rich and the poor,
is increasing at alarming rate in
Nigeria. Yet, most Nigerians, especially at the grassroots, are not only
ignorant about cancer causes, symptoms, and how it can be prevented, majority
do not even know about the need to go for regular cancer tests/screenings.
Therefore, apart from
provisions of support for cancer patients and rehabilitation for cancer
survivors, LJSCF’s adopted the Preventive Cancer-care policy, which helps us to focus our energy more on cancer education
and life-saving projects (such as provision of safe water, etc) that can help
our cancer prevention goal. Our focus is not only in the urban centers, but
especially, in rural communities across Nigeria.
