Sign Boards

Rowaca Cancer Group - Sierra Leone has commissioned two sign boards to add to its campaign in Sierra Leone.

The team leader, Alpha B. Kamara, said the sign boards will serve as reminder to community people.
"We should use every tool available to address the burden of cancer," he said.
Kamara said the speech by the president, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, during the opening of Parliament has showed that the Government is oblivious of the felt needs of the people of Sierra Leone, especially the health sector which for years has been the main economic problems of this nation.
He said one key factor that is yet to be taken into cognizant by the stakeholders, especially the ministry of health, is the rising cases of Cancer among the people of this nation.
