Taking cancer awareness to the classroom – Medicaid Cancer Foundation
Medicaid Cancer Foundation posted on LinkedIn:
“We took cancer awareness to the classroom!
We engaged with students at Model Junior Secondary School, Maitama, educating them on cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, and kidney cancer, with a strong focus on prevention, early detection, and treatment.
Key Takeaways:
- Cervical Cancer: Causes, symptoms and importance of early screening.
- Colorectal Cancer: Risk factors and lifestyle changes for prevention.
- Kidney Cancer: Early warning signs and prevention strategies.
- HPV Vaccination: How it protects against cervical cancer and free vaccination opportunities!
The students were highly engaged, asking insightful questions and demonstrating a strong understanding of the topics!
What’s Next?
- Follow-up to ensure eligible students receive the HPV vaccine.
- Organize more health awareness sessions in schools.
- Empower students as peer educators in cancer prevention.
At MCF, we believe knowledge is power, and awareness saves lives! Together, we’re building a healthier, cancer-free future!”
