Cancer: The African Dilemma

diseases of the white populace owing to relative low reportage of their incidences in Africa. Malaria, diarrheal diseases, pneumonia, and HIV/AIDS were the most reported cases among clinicians. Recently, different forms of cancers ranging from breast, prostate, liver, and colon cancers, to mention but these few, are increasingly reported in their numbers across the continent. Nigeria in particular, and most African countries in general have for long waged an arduous and intense war against communicable diseases, and just as we were beginning to see some glimmer of victory, we experience a blow from malignancies not to mention diabetes, hypertension and other metabolic diseases, previously alien to us. We seem to have unobtrusively moved from “the frying pan to the fire”. In Africa, other confounding factors like corruption, fake or sub-standard drugs, poor health facilities, lack of viable health insurance schemes, paucity of well-trained health professionals as well as poverty, further worsen the outlook.
