CABS joined forces with Pick n Pay and the Cancer Association of Zimbabwe to offer free cancer checks where women need them most. Zimbabwe faces serious health issues as cervical cancer hits about 1,000 women each year, making it the second most common female cancer. Breast cancer also kills many women nationwide. Bank leaders believe early testing saves lives.
CABS manager Mehluli Mpofu said his bank wants to help communities beyond money matters. His team previously raised funds through store campaigns like Swipe for Pink. They plan to bring medical services directly to neighborhoods instead of just helping with treatment costs. Health experts say finding cervical cancer early can cut death rates up to 80 percent.
Women can visit free screening clinics throughout May at locations across Zimbabwe. The schedule starts May 5 at Blue Waters Hospital in Kuwadzana and moves to different towns. Other stops include clinics in Budiriro, Tafara, Southlea Park, Chitungwiza, Bindura, and Mutoko. The partners ask all women to take advantage of these free tests.
