The Atinuke Cancer Foundation has said its annual senior secondary school cancer awareness competition will improve information about the disease.
The Founder/CEO, Atinuke Cancer Foundation, Mrs Tinu Lawal, who was also a cancer survivor said, “Knowledge, in this context is, moving from the dark days of fear and terror upon receiving a cancer diagnosis to a future of certainty.
“Close the care gap here can be described as the discrepancy between recommended best practices and the care that is provided. Half of the world’s population lacks access to the full range of essential health services when it comes to cancer.” A Trustee and Executive Director of the foundation, Mr Ola Oresanya, explained that, “One key thing about cancer is knowledge, it plays an essential role in cancer care and survivorship.’’All rights reserved.
