UBTH CMD Darlington Obaseki
For cancer patients who have to travel to far places for brachytherapy, there is good news as the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) has opened a brand new ultramodern brachytherapy suite at the tertiary hospital.
Brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation therapy that is often used to treat cancers of the head and neck, breast, cervix, prostate, and eye.
A statement in Benin yesterday by the Public Relations Officer, Mr Joshua Uwaila explained that the initiative was due to the concerted effort of the Chief Medical Director, Prof Darlington Obaseki, in making the hospital a centre of excellence in Oncology care.
Uwaila said that a Cobalt 60 high dose rate Brachytherapy machine has been installed while the personnel to man the unit have been fully trained.
The spokesman said: “UBTH is now the second hospital (public or private) in Nigeria to offer Brachytherapy services using the Cobalt 60 high dose rate machine for the treatment of gynaecological malignancies such as cervix, endometrial and vagina cancers.”
