Free Lumpetomy Surgery
Over the past 14 years, since 2012 to be precise, I have had the honour, pleasure and privilege of working and leveraging the kind support of past presidents of the Medical Women’s Association Nigeria (MWAN) (Ogun State Chapter) in person of Dr Winifred Adenuga, Dr Bunmi Fatugase, Dr Stella Ogunmuyiwa, Mrs Bolanle Adefuye and Dr Bisi Dodeke.
These women are selfless, God sent and a blessing to the medical profession and humanity at large.
UPLIFT cancer interventions would have been nowhere without them!
My special thanks goes to the management of Federal Medical Centre, Idi Aba, Abeokuta for their technical support and for consistently facilitating our cancer prevention programs.
May God reward you all extensively.
