#prostate cancer

Uganda is facing a growing cancer burden, with over 37,000 new diagnoses and nearly 28,000 deaths annually, according to recent estimates. Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women, while prostate cancer is the most prevalent among men. This situation is putting significant pressure on patients, families, and the healthcare system.

A government official has made an appeal for assistance for a former Bafana coach who is currently suffering from prostate cancer and tuberculosis (TB). The coach, aged 75, is in need of support during his health struggles.
