The Cancer Association of Namibia completed another successful health screening event across the country. Chief executive Rolf Hansen reported that 109 women received breast and cervical cancer tests during the latest campaign. Men also participated, as 45 underwent prostate cancer screening through PSA testing. The organization provided all services without any cost to participants. These numbers add to earlier screening efforts from the same month.
Hansen noted that previous campaigns reached 100 women and 27 men earlier this month. Combined totals show over 280 people received life-saving medical screenings at no charge. The executive praised community members who attended the health events. Male participation particularly impressed Hansen as more men recognize the value of early cancer detection. Namibian men appear more willing to take control of their health through preventive care.
The organization plans another free screening clinic at the CAN Erongo Centre located in Swakopmund. This event will happen at the end of June for interested community members. Hansen encourages both men and women to participate in cancer screening opportunities. The annual national cancer outreach programme will restart in August. These ongoing efforts aim to detect cancer early, when treatment is most effective.
