In a statement made available to PUNCH HealthWise, Sebeccly Cancer Care explained that the discount was made possible through fundraising from kind-hearted Nigerians via several avenues, adding that one of them is Sebeccly Cancer Care’s #1K4Cancer programme, which had been instrumental in alleviating the burden of cancer care on indigent women in Nigeria.
The organisation noted that beneficiaries of the TGIF Breast Clinic beneficiaries will receive up to 40 per cent discount on their treatment.
The statement further stated that beneficiaries of the breast clinic initiative would have access to the Oncopadi Cancer App – a telemedicine platform that leverages technology, data, research, and impact of scale to decentralise cancer care services and empower cancer patients.
“There is a shortage of clinical oncologists in Nigeria. As of today, there are only 81 Clinical Oncologists with about 30 per cent of them based in Lagos State. As a digital health innovation company, Oncopadi is on a mission to empower confident cancer care decisions by patients, irrespective of their physical location,” the statement read.
