 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv.

 Oncologists Urge FG to Financially Support Treatment of Cancer Patients

The Oncologists who made the appeal during a News briefing in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, also advised Policy makers to provide needed facilities and environment to enable more Cancer patients to get access to quality and affordable treatments.


Medical reports have it that Nigeria records nearly 12,000 new Cancer cases are diagnosed annually, with over 7,000 lives lost each year.


The reality is that the health system in Nigeria has long been fragile with limited workforce, inadequate infrastructure, late diagnosis, and financial hardship for patients.


According to Oncologists, it's for such troubling reasons that they are urging the Federal and State governments to support Cancer patients.


The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that at least one Radiotherapy machine should be available for 20,000 populace, but that is far from the case  in Nigeria.


Health experts note that the cause of Cancer is multi factorial, but lifestyle modifications, regular physical exercise, a moderate BMI and avoidance of processed foods as well as early detection can at least reduce the risk of Cancer.
