Hospital Cuts Off Woman's Breast Only To Later Discover She Doesn't Have Cancer

A woman who went viral in 2019 as NGOs solicited funds for her cancer treatment, has now been discovered not to have had cancer. 

Serah Shimenenge Yugh was diagnosed with Stage I invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast at age of 33 on 21st August, 2017. 

By 2019, Serah's story had gone viral and caught the attention of health minister, Osagie Ehanire, who said the federal government is planning to roll out a cancer treatment fund to reduce the burden of treating cancer.

He said this at the National Health Dialogue that held in October 2019 in Abuja.
