The Nation Newspaper Breast cancer: Nigerian women must go for screening, says foundation

Nigerian women must make it a point of duty to go for breast cancer screening to avoid potentially devastating consequences for both their health and their families, the founder of the MamaJazz Foundation, Folashade Samuels, has said.

She emphasised that as the linchpin of many households, women cannot afford to be overwhelmed by breast cancer, which could have been readily detected through laboratory screening before plunging the family into lifelong misery.

She said: “It was this sad incident that brought the inspiration to put this together to create the awareness of the fact that the disease can be prevented or treated which does not have to lead to a loss of life. “Our goal is to ensure that women have the resources and support they need to prioritize their health and well-being.”
