“As a mother of the constituency, I am not happy about how breast cancer is taking many women into their early graves, so I saw the need to come up with this free breast cancer program to pave way for those who can’t go to hospital to examine theirs due to their busy schedules because early detection helps save lives”, she said.
According to the Women Organizer, she will ensure all patronizers who were detected having breast cancer would be given the necessary medical care for treatment.
