Summary (AI generated)

I will share some background information to provide context for the following quotes. In Nigeria, the use of totally implantable venous access parts is not popular. Instead, people still use the normal intravenous (IV) method. This has a significant impact on women, especially breast cancer patients, who experience a great deal of pain as they have to go through multiple procedures just to receive one chemotherapy treatment.
