Emalahleni Cacadu Hospital, also known as Glen Grey Hospital, partnered with the Emalahleni Municipality to commemorate World Cancer Day with a community awareness event.
The day began with a walk from the Cacadu Police Station to the hospital, with participants dressed in white and pink to show support for those living with cancer. The programme continued at Glen Grey Hospital, featuring speakers from various departments and organizations who highlighted the importance of early detection and community support.
Health officials encouraged members of the public to undergo cancer screenings and seek medical advice if they notice any symptoms or have health concerns.
“Cancer can affect anyone, regardless of gender. We urge everyone to visit their nearest health facility for regular check-ups and screenings,” said one of the organizers.
The event aimed to raise awareness about cancer prevention, promote healthy living, and encourage the community to stand in solidarity with those affected by the disease.
