The E-Center Cancer Awareness Program
In South Africa , the incidence of cancer is increasing rapidly; therefore, it is important to step up cancer literacy and knowledge among the population. We hope that this will lead to early detection which is important in the management and treatment of cancer and prevention by making necessary changes in lifestyle. We at the E-Center for Women’s Cancer and Maternal Health are one of the inclusive and accessible Cancer NGOs in South Africa . Our work encompasses the entire Cancer spectrum from Cancer awareness, early detection, diagnosis and treatment funding, post-treatment support, and rehabilitation. Our focus is the underprivileged section of the society both in urban and rural South Africa . Your one decision to donate to an NGO can save many lives. Thank you for choosing to donate to the E-Center for Women’s Cancers and Maternal Health.
