DONATE

The mission of St Cyril Cancer Treatment Foundation is to provide quality treatment to as many cancer patients in Africa as possible, starting with Nigeria

Challenge

There is an acute shortage of brachytherapy units in Nigeria. Currently there are 3 units, which is 98% short of the World Health Organization recommendation for Nigeria. 2018 data showed that over 14,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer and 10,000+ wo en died from the disease.

Long-Term Impact

The long term impact will be the reduction in mortality of women with cervical cancer. Additionally we shall be aligned with the WHO's SDGs #3 directly and I directly to the other 16 goals. Lastly, we shall be playing a key part in working towards WHO's goal of eliminating cervical cancer in low and middle income countries like Nigeria by 2030.
