”Osun state is committed with the backing of our leader, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola in making sure that everyone enjoys good health”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his goodwill message, Dr Siji Olamiju, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Public Health, thanked the organisers for bringing the event to Osun State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the scourge of cervical cancer is huge in our society as it affects all female including our daughters, wives and mothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”I want to use this opportunity to thank the Dove-Haven Foundation and other foundations across the globe waging war against cervical cancer”, Olamiju said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Director, Public Health, Osun State Ministry of Health, Dr Adepoju Gbenga, expressed his optimism towards the awareness against cervical cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: ”If we can end Polio in Nigeria, this is achievable, I believe it can be prevented. Let us all join hands together to support this organisation”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Abayomi Oni, Director Medical Services, Hospital Management Board, Osun State also assures the Foundation of their support whenever needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Adefila A.V, Consultant Family Physician LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, and Dr Sekinah Bola-Oyebamiji, gynae-oncology unit, LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, both reiterated the need to eradicate cervical cancer as women do not in most cases enjoy life at the later stages of their lives due to death or pain from this disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hon. commissioner for Health, Osun State, Dr Rafiu Isamotu officially launched the awareness and action plan, which was beautifully lit with teal green colour on the Bristol Fountain Tower located at the centre of the state capital. The inscription on the monument largely reads: “END CERVICAL CANCER”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch programme was also supported by Saving One Million Lives Programme for Results, Iyanu Ni Oluwa Pharmacy and Baby Mart, Favoured Emmanuel Health Care Limited, Osogbo, Bristol Garden and Park, Osogbo, and Victory Montessori Int\u2019l School, Osogbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
