Waqo","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13178,"legal_name":"Naomi Jilo Waqo","slug":"naomi-jilo-waqo"},"content":"As we think of cancer centres, we also need to talk about skilled personnel. We may have a cancer centre, but without any oncologist. Therefore, the centre might not serve its purpose. We need skilled staff and other professionals to deal with cancer patients. Cancer patients need a lot of psychological and even spiritual care to some extent. As we know, Africans normally believe that any problem they go through or encounter mentally or physically is as a result of some other power somewhere. Some people believe they are bewitched or cursed. They always look for sources of the challenges they go through, instead of accepting."}
