Preventive Medicine
Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. At the NVH, we understand the burden of cancers and the challenges with management, especially in our environment. We also understand that the prevention of several cancers is possible if picked up at the precancerous stage.
We thus provide state-of-the-art services in the prevention and early detection of several gynaecological cancers such as Cervical cancer, Uterine cancer, Ovarian, and Breast cancers. We create avenues for educating the public on the dangers of these cancers and how to prevent them.
