Public benefits
The charity provides a clinic, equipment, and research for the detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer for the general public of the country. The benefit therefore is the improved health outcome for those availing of the service. These benefits will be evidenced through feedback from patients and medical staff and from hospital
statistics. In providing medical treatment for patients with cancer there is a risk of unintended side effects from the drugs and the treatment. But this is rare and the benefits in almost all cases outweigh the harm. The facilities provided are available to all males who wishes to avail of them.

treatment in our hospitals.
