The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare Dr. Tunji Alausa recently declared Cancer a notifiable disease in Nigeria and has unveiled the National guidelines for cancer registries in Nigeria. A notifiable disease is a disease that, when diagnosed, requires health providers (usually by law) to report to state or local public health officials. Notifiable diseases are of public interest because of their contagiousness, severity or frequency, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention We are grateful for such impressive declaration as this is an evidence of the immense work by organisations such as the National Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment (NICRAT) and Nigerian Cancer Society and all cancer organisations and advocates We believe these strides are set to led to progress in our fight against cancer.

July is Sarcoma and bone cancer Awareness Month. Sarcoma is a rare cancer that arises in the bones and soft tissues, affecting both children and adults. Common symptoms include persistent swelling or a lump, unexplained pain, and fatigue. Early detection is crucial, so be vigilant about any unusual changes in your body. While there’s no sure way to prevent sarcoma, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular check-ups can aid in early diagnosis. Let’s spread the word, support research, and honor those affected. 💛 #SarcomaAwareness #FightSarcoma #HopeForACure #EarlyDetectionMatters
