St. Cyril Initiative for Patients' Support (SCIPS)

Subject: Giving the Gift of peace of mind

Here at the St. Cyril Cancer Treatment Foundation, we are excitedly gearing up for the December holiday season. As we move towards a new year, we’re having a rough few months planning a clinic location transition but we will conquer with our usual grace and fortitude.

UICC Nomination
In the past few weeks, we have inaugurated a new board of trustees whom we will introduce to our GlobalGiving community in due course. We would like to celebrate with one of our board members, Dr. Kingsley Ndoh.

Dr. Ndoh was selected by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) as one of eight aspiring young cancer control professionals to nurture over the next 12 months to become successful and more effective leaders in cancer control and the wider global health community.

As beneficiaries of his generosity and professional support, The Foundation is honored to be part of his community and we wish him a hearty congratulations and wish him an abundance of luck with the training year.

Expansion Plans
Our Mission is to build self-sustaining standard cancer centers with investors who share our long term vision of a viable and profitable business that will attend to the millions of Africans.
To reach our goal of a regional treatment cluster within the SW region of Nigeria, we are soon breaking ground on our new treatment facility. It will include a Radiotherapy Department, Chemotherapy Suites, Mini theatre/Surgical unit, Palliative Care unit and Attachment services including Lab, Pharmacy and Radiology.

We look forward to sharing positive news as we move forward with these plans.


Support S.C.I.P.S. 2020
By 2030 it is estimated that the cancer occurrence and mortality rate will nearly double- 1.28million new cancer cases and 970,000 cancer deaths. Creative methods are required for patients and treatment funding.

St. Cyril Initiative for Patients’ Support (S.C.I.P.S.) is our innovative approach to challenge cancer mortality rates by helping more patients pay.

We have partnered with The Anne Thomas Project to develop Support S.C.I.P.S. 2020 a year-long fundraising campaign focused on raising $10,000 through collaborations and online campaigns. You can follow the journey on our social media channels (@treatcancernig).
The need for cancer treatment is self-evident. We are committed to making this difference and filling the need and we cannot do it without you.
Donate here and please share. We look forward to reaching this goal together. #SupportSCIPS2020
From all of us at St. Cyril, we wish you the happiest of holiday seasons.
Warmest regards

Dear all,

It is time to let you know about what is going on with us at the Foundation. I hope your Summer is going well, wherever you are in the world. Summer is always packed with family fun times anywhere I  the world, so enjoy.

Things were slow going into the second quarter of this year but towards the end of the quarter, things began to pick up pace. Early in the quarter we caught up with our ambassador, Mofe a well known Nigerian actor and got him to take this photograph below with one of our signs. We have been doing this with many other people in Nigeria and will share them with you periodically 

Our other important program is the opportunity to participate in the Global Health Catalyst Summit hosted by Harvard Medical School. We were very excited to the Summit which gave us an opportunity to showcase St Cyril Fou dation and the work we have been doing and want our long term plans look like. We have already started working on opening our next center which will provide more kinds of treatment for our patients. It will include radiotherapy and a mini surgical center.

As our next GlobalGiving  campaign starts, we hope you will forward our flyers to all your family and friends. We are really going to need to have many more donors to help us make a difference in cancer treatment in Nigeria and later, Africa. Our social media team (see them at work in one of our photos below) have been working very hard to improve our followers hip and GlobalGiving and lightful have been really helpful with the webinars and tutorials. Please follow us if you are not already. If you are, tell your friends to look us up on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @treatcancernig  Very easy to remember.

We want to say a big thank you to all of you for contributing to SCIPS. Because of your donations and those received locally, we have been able to help  60% more people have cancer treatments than we did in the year before. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Warmest regards,

Mojisola
