THE NEED FOR A BRACHYTHERAPY

CRITICAL in curing patients of cervical cancer and
has been the standard of treatment for over 100
years.

WHY THE URGENCY?
 Until recent, cancer awareness among Nigerians has
been very low
 With renewed interest by corporate bodies in areas
of public enlightment and awareness campaigns,
more people are beginning to get tested and we
expect the numbers to go higher
 In Nigeria, a country with over 150million people, there
exist only one(1) Brachytherapy centre located in the
University College Hospital, Ibadan, western Nigeria
and Donated by IAEA.
Rotary Club Of Ikoyi Metro Project 2011/2012
WHY THE URGENCY?
 This centre is currently flooded with patients hence
the need to create a new centre accessible to
cervical cancer sufferers all over the country.
 Lagos state is the former capital but still remains the
commercial capital and the nerve centre of Nigeria
and home to over 18million people.
 Lagos state is home to Lagos University Teaching
Hospital, a foremost Government owned tertiary
institution.

WHY THE URGENCY?
 Lagos University Teaching Hospital diagnose lots of
cervical cancer patients weekly, they are all turned
back due to a lack of facilities or referred to the
University College Hospital, Ibadan which is about
150km from Lagos
 For those that can afford the treatment at the
University teaching Hospital Ibadan, cost is further
increased because sufferers will have to cater for
personal needs like hotel bills and sundries.
