"A silent crisis persist in developing nations and is intensifying every year". I strongly believe that nothing is still being done about this form of ignorance. I lost my mom to breast cancer at the young age of thirteen, eversince than Breast Cancer has been a factor in my life. I can still picture the moment i overheard my grandmum relaying the awful news to my aunties outside my mums hospital room that she was dying from breast cancer. She was suppose to receive medical treatment abroad however we were told that breast cancer had spread and nothing could be done. My mom could have survived and battled breast cancer if she was living in a developed nation like New Zealand or Australia because they provide top notch medical treatment, however due to the lack of medical facilities to cater for cancer patient in Fiji, my mother was another number to an already increasing rate of cancer death patients in developing nation.
A dramatic rise in cancer in developing nations streching already limited resources and equipments. Shortage of qualified staffs and equipments are growing constraints to treating cancer effectively. Equipments such as radiotherapy equipments are only available in some developing nation. I think that people in developing nations need to be given the same medical treatment in developed nations.
