Breast Cancer Treatment for Ethiopian Patients

Breast cancer is one of the major health problems faced by Ethiopian women. The diagnosis is delayed in many patients in Ethiopia because of limited screening programmes, the lack of oncology specialists and limited access to advanced cancer therapeutics. In some areas, cancer is only diagnosed in the late stages.

Due to these difficulties, Ethiopian families are increasingly seeking breast cancer treatment in India for affordable, advanced and prompt treatment.
