Mr. Daniel Amos, the representative for Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, recently organized a campaign aimed at raising awareness about breast and cervical cancer among women and girls.
Teaming up with Mbegir Humanitarian Initiative, the event took place in Kafanchan and involved screening more than 2,000 women and girls. Amos highlighted that the initiative underscores his commitment to safeguarding the health of his constituents and educating them about the risks associated with these types of cancer.
This outreach is part of ongoing efforts by Amos to provide free medical services within his constituency. During the campaign, Amos urged women not to view cancer as a death sentence and emphasized the importance of early detection through regular screenings.
Rahap Elisha, leading the screening team, explained that the campaign’s goal was to increase awareness and empower women with knowledge on self-checks for breast cancer, especially encouraging younger girls to undergo screenings for early detection.
Phoebe Sukai Yayi, Commissioner of Kafanchan Municipal Authority, stressed the significance of regular checks in detecting cancer early, thus facilitating prompt treatment. She praised Amos for his proactive initiative and highlighted the universal impact of cancer regardless of gender.
The campaign included a road walk for cancer awareness along Kafanchan’s main road, culminating in a visit to the Emir of Jama’a, Alhaji Muhammadu Isa Muhammadu, who endorsed and blessed the initiative.
