| Abstract | The global communities have been grappling with health pandemics for months since the outbreak of COVID-19, which has been flagged a global health emergency by World Health Organisation, WHO. While the entire health sector has been overburdened, cancer patients are also at a high risk of getting infected during this COVID-19 pandemic; hence, there is a great concern for these patients because there is little to no data to support their management with the current health care structure in Africa. This article outlines the challenges that frontline health workers face in the management of cancer patients, as the entire health sector calls for effective policy formulation and implementation by the government in their role in ensuring the sound health of their citizenry. |
