Cancer is a burden that impacts on the lives of all South Africans, across all languages, races, ages, genders and religions. Cancer, in its various forms, is currently the fourth biggest killer of South Africans. This is despite the fact that most common cancers can be successfully treated if detected early enough.

The most common obstacles to successful treatment are money and resources - many South Africans are unable to afford early diagnosis procedures and rely heavily on government medical resources, or simply don't have access to adequate cancer treatment centres.

The Care for Cancer Foundation has made a significant impact in the fight against cancer in South Africa. The organization's commitment to improving access to cancer care, education, and support for patients and their families has been instrumental in changing the cancer landscape in the country. Through partnerships with healthcare providers, community organizations, and government bodies, the Care for Cancer Foundation has been able to increase awareness about cancer and provide access to early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation services.

Additionally, the foundation's support programs and resources have provided much-needed emotional and financial assistance to those affected by cancer. The organization's efforts have greatly improved the quality of life for those impacted by cancer in South Africa and will continue to play a vital role in the future of cancer care in the country
