EDITOR’S NOTE

February 4th is World Cancer Day, a day set aside internationally to raise awareness for the disease known as cancer. The different kinds of cancer are all deadly, ranging from skin cancer to lung cancer, prostate cancer to breast cancer, and the fight to prevent, detect, and treat these cancers continues.

Some people have taken it upon themselves to put an end to the rise of cancer in Nigeria; one such person is Dr Omolola Salako, an Oncologist who founded Sebeccly Cancer Care, Pearl Oncology Specialist Hospital, The Oncopadi app, and Prosecare AI, a digital patient monitoring platform in Nigeria.

She decided to start the fight against cancer after she lost her sister to the disease. Her inspiration to become an oncologist stemmed from caring for her sister and a desire to enhance the quality of cancer care in Nigeria. At one of her organisations, Pearl Oncology Specialist Hospital, their three-fold priority—prevention, treatment, and survivorship, reflects their commitment to closing the cancer gap. According to her, 40% of cancers are preventable, so prevention takes precedence, with an emphasis on educating individuals on reducing their risk of developing cancer and promoting healthy habits.

Her interview is very informative; I urge you to read it on pages 8 through 10.
