Breast cancer screening is an important step in protecting women’s health.

At Lilly Women’s Health, we are committed to making screening more accessible by bringing services directly to communities through our mobile mammography program.

Our mobile clinic provides a welcoming and supportive environment where women can receive high-quality breast screening and trusted information about breast health. Our caring team is dedicated to ensuring that every woman feels comfortable, informed, and empowered to take charge of her health.

In addition to screening, we work with communities to promote breast health awareness and education, helping women understand the importance of early detection and informed decision-making.

If you would like to host a mobile mammography visit at your workplace, organization, or community, please contact us at [email protected] . We’ll work with you to bring breast screening and health education directly to your community.

No woman should lose her life to breast cancer because of delayed detection, lack of health education, inadequate treatment, or the absence of a compassionate and personalized medical support system.

At Lilly Women's Health, women are cared for only by experienced and internationally accredited breast health care specialists using the most modern facility and technology.

No woman should lose her life to breast cancer because of delayed detection, lack of health education, inadequate treatment, or the absence of a compassionate and supportive medical system.

At Lilly Women’s Health, we work to change this by bringing breast screening and trusted health information directly to communities through our mobile mammography and outreach programs.

Our goal is to help women detect concerns early, understand their breast health, and feel supported in making informed decisions about their care.

When abnormalities are identified, we work with trusted healthcare providers and medical facilities to ensure women are connected to appropriate follow-up care and support. Through collaboration, modern technology, and community partnerships, we help link women—including those in rural or underserved areas—to the expertise and care they need.

The Effects of Breast Cancer Epidemic:

Tens of Thousands of Deaths. About 30,000 women in Nigeria die of breast cancer every year due to delayed detection. And the the numbers are growing by leaps and bounds!

So, why the delay? It's mainly because women aren’t motivated to get screened by local screening centres due to the following reasons:

For those who have the financial means for breast screening:

1. Uncomfortable and negligent breast care environment
2. Unreliable and aging equipment and technology
3. Long waiting time from appointment to screening to diagnosis
4. Lack of experts and specialization
5. Distance
6. Lack of time/Too busy
7. Fear of pain
8. General lack of confidence in local service providers

For those who don’t have the financial means for breast screening:

1. Lack of awareness about the necessity of breast screening
2. Fear of pain
3. They feel fit and healthy and think they don’t need to be screened
4. No easy and/or regular access to breast screening centers
5. Too costly

Motherless Children / Maternal Orphans.

Studies also showed that the number of maternal orphans due to breast cancer exceeds the number of breast cancer deaths among women in sub-Saharan Africa. For every 100 deaths in women younger than 50 years, there were 210 new orphans.

Economic Burden.

Due to medical costs, productivity losses from morbidity and premature mortality, and healthcare expenses, cancer places a financial burden on patients, healthcare systems, and nations.

So what should be done to help resolve these issues? At Lilly Women's Health, we effectively use what we call as the LWH Solutions™.
