Health Experts Urge Women to Prioritize Self-Examination
As Botswana commemorates Breast Cancer Awareness Month, health experts are warning of the growing prevalence of the disease in the country.
According to Dr. Ngoni Kamhuka, breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Botswana, affecting 20 in 100,000 women, after cervical cancer.
If we want to get rid of the animal called cancer, we have to teach our women how to properly self-examine and whenever they feel a lump on their breasts, they should immediately consult their doctor.
Dr. Kamhuka attributes the late diagnosis of most cases to a lack of awareness and poor self-examination practices amongst women.
Author's note: Regular self-examination is key to early detection.
