Journalist Biénne Huisman has launched a special series on cancer in South Africa, beginning with a comparative look at the diagnosis and treatment experiences of two women. The report features rugby referee Aimee Barrett-Theron and Joyce Witbooi, a cancer advocate who assists patients in navigating the public health system in Cape Town.
The series aims to highlight the disparities and challenges within the South African oncology landscape. By contrasting these individual journeys, the project seeks to provide insight into how different socioeconomic backgrounds and systems impact the quality and accessibility of cancer care for women in the country.
