The Zimbabwean Health Minister, Dr. Douglas Mombeshora, stated that the prevalence of cervical cancer in Zimbabwe is worryingly high.
Isn’t the absence of a single working radiotherapy cancer treatment machine in the entire country also worryingly shocking and tragic?
2000 women are dying every year from cervical cancer, this is primarily because there is no single working radiotherapy cancer treatment machine for over three years.
How much does it cost? Only US$1.5 million, the same amount that buys 4 Landcruisers, and the same government has bought thousands of Landcruisers.
Radiotherapy is one of the primary treatment options for cervical cancer, but it hasn’t been available in Zimbabwe.
