Uplift Development Foundation Offers Free Surgeries in Ogun
The Uplift Development Foundation, founded by Mrs. Olufunso Amosun, wife of former Ogun State Governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun, launched a program providing free breast lump removal surgeries to 30 women diagnosed with surgical-grade conditions. This initiative was flagged off at the Federal Medical Center in Abeokuta.
The foundation's efforts stem from a cancer awareness campaign initiated in 2012, expanding in 2017 to address the financial barriers many women face in accessing treatment after early screening. During a recent medical screening, 655 individuals were examined, revealing 81 cervical-related health issues and 53 breast-related conditions, with 50 cases involving visible lumps.
Following assessments, 30 women were identified for immediate lumpectomies, funded entirely by Senator Amosun through the foundation’s medical fund. Mrs. Amosun commended the healthcare team for their dedication and reiterated the importance of early detection in preventing terminal cancer outcomes.
