Health Experts Urge Women to Prioritize Self-Examination

According to Dr. Ngoni Kamhuka, breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Botswana, affecting 20 in 100,000 women, after cervical cancer. However, most cases are diagnosed late, worsening the prognosis.
Dr. Kamhuka attributes this trend to a lack of awareness and poor self-examination practices amongst women.
