Hello to all our donors and all who are subscribed to GlobalGiving.
The fact that you are reading this already shows you have a giving spirit and want to help others. For this we are grateful.
This giving spirit is evident during our World Cancer Day aerobic activity Where we had a good turnout and raised some money. It was fun and rewarding in many ways as you can see from our photos.
Let us update you on our first chemotherapy center. We have been hard at work since our last report. We are in the process of setting up our data collection system using a Health Information Management System. We were able to initiate this from our GlobalGiving disbursement in May .This is important because one of the objectives of St Cyril Cancer Treatment Foundation is to be able to provide credible data on cancer situation in Nigeria. So much of the current information is in small research units that is used for the whole country. We want to change that and this is a start. Our role model is American Cancer Society (ACS) in this area. The data ACS has (and still is) gathered for decades now makes the organisation a national and international cancer data resource
We are also very excited to have reached conclusion state with a major oncopharm marketing company in Nigeria to supply our patients’ oncology drugs at a discount. This is a huge benefit for us. In addition they are donating a refrigerator and storage cabinet to us. This will make the treatment affordable to so many more patients
For us to continue to efficiently work, we have increased our staff by one. Dami is our new intern and has been working in a lot of areas especially campaigns. He is part of our GG Rewards campaign team. His degree in International Affairs gives him a global approach to a local issue.
Once again, thank you all so much for your support. All these great strides would not be possible without you. There is so much still left to do as you can see on our globlgiving page, https://www.globalgiving.org/donate/36506/st-cyril-cancer-treatment-foundation/ . Spread the word so we can have more people join us to support many Nigerians suffering from cancer
Until our next report, it is goodbye from,
Mojisola Animashaun
