Leadway Health Limited has unveiled plans to facilitate a free one-month mammogram screening for women in Nigeria.The Chief Executive Officer of the firm, Dr Tokunbo Alli, in a statement on Wednesday, said the initiative aligned with the organisation’s campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer and help women who require or cannot afford the screening exercise.
“It is alarming to know that breast cancer is currently one of the most prevalent critical illnesses among women – with 2.26 million cases recorded worldwide and 685,000 deaths in 2020. But we also know that early detection is imperative in the successful diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Hence, we are poised to provide facilities for screening through selected health centres across Nigeria.
