The Challenge

Pushing the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare

Over the past 20 years, breast cancer rates have more than doubled, with a widespread prevalence in black women in both rural and low-income urban areas.

Women in these communities are particularly vulnerable and are often diagnosed at late stages (stages 3-4) due to a lack of awareness and inadequate access to screening services.

The increase in breast cancer rates is driven by lifestyle factors and a healthcare system unable to meet the demand for early detection.

Addressing these challenges requires a focused effort on education, improving access to screenings, and providing essential support to women in these vulnerable communities.

Key obstacles in accessing mammograms

Mammography has proven to be the most effective screening technique to detect breast cancer before symptoms appear. However, despite its effectiveness, women in low-income and rural areas face several obstacles which delays diagnosis and treatment.

HIGH COSTS Icon

HIGH COSTS

A mammogram typically costs around R1800 which is not affordable for women working in the informal sector.

LIMITED SCREENING UNITS

There are too few mammography units, especially in rural areas, and public health centers often lack the budget to provide these essential services.

TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS Icon

TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS

Poor public transportation, long distances, high travel costs, and lengthy appointment waiting times make accessing screening services very difficult.
