We are proud to announce the pre-launch of the Dukutober Cancer Awareness Magazine, Issue 2—Zambia’s very first magazine dedicated entirely to cancer awareness. This groundbreaking edition continues our mission to share real stories of survivors, caregivers, and families, while providing trusted health information and hope for communities across Zambia and Africa.
As we move towards World Cancer Day on 4 February, celebrated under the theme #UnitedByUnique, we honor the unique voices and experiences captured in this issue. Each story reminds us that while cancer affects people differently, we are united in resilience, compassion, and the fight for better healthcare.
