The President of the Lions Club, in his address, highlighted the critical need for collaborative efforts to combat the growing number of cancer cases in Nigeria. He said, “Our goal is to make a meaningful impact by supporting initiatives that provide essential services to those in need. Cancer is a serious concern, and we believe that this donation will help LASUTH continue its important work in treating and supporting cancer patients.”
