    Question of the Day

    Ladies....⠀ What's stopping you from getting a cervical screening test?⠀ Here are some of the answers we get.⠀ 1. I don't have the time.⠀ 2. Is it really necessary?⠀ 3. I heard it is painful.⠀ 4. I am fine. 'It' is not my portion.⠀ If you are female and have ever been sexually active, (even if with only one partner) you should get screened.⠀⠀ We have put together a list of cervical screening centres across the country.

    Stress and Cancer. Any connection?

    Although stress is linked to a number of physical health problems, the evidence that it can cause cancer is weak. Some studies have indicated a link between various psychological factors and an increased risk of developing cancer, but others have not. Yet, there is little doubt that stress promotes the growth and spread of some forms of the disease. For many of us who live in big cities such as Lagos, stress can come in different forms. Today, we are sharing a few tips on
