Otti Seeks Regular Screening, Support for Breast Cancer Patients in Abia!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

Mrs. Priscilla Otti, wife of the Abia State Governor, has urged women to prioritize regular breast cancer screening and called for increased advocacy and structured support for patients battling the disease.

What We Know:

• The First Lady made the appeal during a breast cancer awareness event in Umuahia.
• She emphasized early detection, community education, and emotional support as key tools in reducing mortality.
• NGOs, health workers, and cancer survivors participated in the campaign.

Quote:

“No woman should walk the journey alone. Let’s unite for early detection, care, and hope.”
— Mrs. Priscilla Otti

Why It Matters:

• Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among women in Nigeria.
• Awareness and access to screening are low in rural areas.
• Otti’s advocacy reinforces public health efforts at the grassroots.

What to Watch:

• State-led initiatives to expand cancer screening centres.
• Partnerships with NGOs for outreach and treatment subsidies.
• Policy push for cancer care integration into primary healthcare.
