As Botswana commemorates Breast Cancer Awareness Month, health experts are warning of the growing prevalence of breast cancer 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.
Dr. Kamhuka attributes the late diagnosis of most cases to a lack of awareness and poor self-examination practices amongst women.
Health experts are sounding the alarm to raise awareness and encourage women to prioritize self-examination.
