A Group under the aegis of Segunfunmi Cancer Support Foundation  has donated fabrics prosthesis and organic kits to no fewer than 50 breast cancer patients in Ogun State.

 

The donation was in commemoration of October 2023 Cancer Awareness Month in Sagamu Local Government Area of the State.

  

The Founder/Project director of the foundation, Moronke Funmilola Agbayewa said the move was to encourage the patient in the battle against cancer.

 

The founder who is also a cancer survivor appealed to patients to always adhere strictly to medical instructions and guidelines of experts, saying cancer isn't a death sentence.

 

She said, in her case, cancer dealt with a wrong person because she was determined to fight it and survive.

 

Speaking at the event held at the Lekan Ogunyemi Hall, Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, the Chief Medical Director, OOUTH, Dr. Olubunmi Fatungase, commended the Governor Dapo Abiodun for providing the necessary equipment for the teaching hospital, including a Cancer Screening Centre for easy accessibility for people to get screened and get adequate treatment.

 

Fatungase enjoined women to always examine their breasts and visit the hospital immediately after they discover any lump to know their health status and get early treatment, rather than indulging in local medication that may escalate their health condition to early death.
