One in two women in sub-Saharan Africa are not alive five years after a #BreastCancer diagnosis. We can, and must, change this. By working together to improve screening and diagnosis, we can help to improve outcomes for women across the continent. #CancerSurvivorsDay

Did you know #hepatitis B and C are leading causes of chronic liver disease in Africa? Dying from viral hepatitis in Africa is becoming a bigger threat than dying from #HIV, #malaria or #tuberculosis. Get tested for a lifetime of peace of mind. #RocheDiagnostics #RocheAfrica

In #Africa, there is a marked lack of awareness about #Hepatitis – a viral infection that can be deadly. #RocheDiagnostics is spreading awareness to encourage more Africans to get tested. With early diagnosis, hepatitis can be treated. #GetTested today. #WorldHepatitisDay

Did you know? African women face higher breast cancer rates than others, with 60-70% diagnosed at late stages, leading to lower survival rates. Take charge of your health—spend 5 minutes every 30 days doing a Breast Self-Exam. Early detection means 4 in 5 women can survive.

This #GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth, early detection and diagnosis need to be the priority. Not just for gynaecological cancers, but breast cancer too. By screening for these cancers together in Africa, women stand more chance of surviving.
