Aga Khan Hospital Dar es Salaam cancer campaign yields huge results

Just three months after the Aga Khan Hospital launched the breast cancer campaign in September this year dubbed “Don’t wait for October” it has been revealed that more than 1,000 patients have so far been reached with free screening services in Dar es Salaam.

A breast surgeon at the hospital Dr Athar Ali told reporters in Dar es Salaam yesterday that more women from the country’s regions are expected to be reached to enable them access to breast cancer services.

Dr Ali said they expect to rollout such a campaign in Dodoma, Iringa and Morogoro regions by next year.

“Our campaign aims at encouraging more people to attend monthly cancer screening in order to detect the problems early. This will help patients to find an appropriate treatment and enable them live a normal life” he said.
