The Health Ministry is holding a National Symposium on cancer prevention and control that started yesterday and ends tomorrow at Phakalane Golf Estate in collaboration with partners and stakeholders. The theme of the symposium is “Together we can: saving lives through early detection of cancer”.

Through the symposium, it is anticipated that participants will identify innovative solutions building on local and international evidence, build consensus around cancer control planning, and strengthen coordination implementation of identified priority activities.
