Medical professionals have lamented dearth of oncologists in Nigeria, even as studies have showed that in Nigeria, an estimated 72,000 cancer deaths occur

The experts therefore called on the federal government to stem brain drain in the health sector, as the country has less than 100 oncologists, to attend to its populace.

“Most of the oncologists are situated in Lagos and Abuja. For instance, there is only one oncologist in Port Harcourt, Nigeria,” Adeniji disclosed.
