WHAT’S ON THE TABLE
Cancer must become
a priority in SA
As a unified collective, we’re raising our voices as
one: Cancer must become a priority in South Africa.
As cancer NGOs and independent advocates standing together – united within the Cancer Alliance – we no longer speak separately.
We are now talking as a unified collective – and we’re all saying the same thing:
We need to stand together. We want to make sure everybody knows: cancer is an illness that can treated if it is detected early. And you can live a good, healthy life – despite your cancer – for a long time if you find help sooner rather than later.
