Cancer continues to claim countless lives in Zimbabwe, with the disease placing a heavy burden on families and the healthcare system. According to recent reports, Zimbabwe records over 7,000 new cancer cases annually, with cervical and breast cancer being the leading causes of death among women. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly one-third of cancer deaths are linked to preventable factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, poor diet, physical inactivity, and infections like HPV.
