First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has called for better care and support for patients and survivors of cancer in society, noting that nobody should face the challenges of cancer alone.
First Lady Tinubu made the call in her message commemorating this year’s World Cancer Day, noting that the theme for the 2024 edition, “Closing the Care Gap”, has emphasized the need to provide better infrastructure for cancer care.
According to her personal message, made available to journalists at the State House, Abuja, on Sunday, the First Lady said: “This year’s World Cancer Day presents an important opportunity to raise awareness and elaborate further the message of prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer.
“The theme for this year, “Closing the Care Gap,” speaks to the fact that we are to deepen our efforts in putting in place necessary infrastructure to address these health challenges towards better care for cancer patients and survivors.
“No one should have to face the challenges of cancer alone. Let us continue to show empathy, care, love, and support for cancer patients and survivors, even as we create more awareness and advocacy for better service delivery.
“Also we are to celebrate those who are cancer free. God bless you. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
