For those who don’t have the financial means for breast screening:
4. No easy and/or regular access to breast screening centers
1 Lack of awareness about the necessity of breast screening
About 30,000 women in Nigeria die of breast cancer every year due to delayed detection. Why the delay? It's because of the fact that women aren’t motivated to get screened by local screening centres in Nigeria due to the following reasons:
3. They feel fit and healthy and think they don’t need to be screened
5. Too costly

Hearing this statement made me cringe and I asked: "Why?" Late presentation of disease, poor awareness, poor healthcare infrastructure etc. The list of excuses went on Despite the fact that women continue to die and at a very young age Women of African descent tend to be younger and get diagnosed with more aggressive forms of breast cancer So I changed the question:
