Cancer

Update posted by Nelson lufafa

Cancer patients face various challenges due to poor social-economic status, and inefficiencies in the healthcare system and infrastructure.

Challenges cause enormous delays in initiation and continuation of cancer treatment.

Patient navigation strategies and functional patient support groups should be intergraded into the cancer care continuum.

National Cancer Control Plans should consider, establishing regional cancer centers and creating a reliable supply of cancer medicines.

Strengthening the whole health system, in relation to cancer service delivery, should remain a top priority for resource limited settings.
