Last Friday, one man sat alone at 8am. By mid-morning, over 90 had walked through the doors at our Eros practice. Each one choosing clarity over fear.
​
A simple finger-prick. A few minutes. A PSA number that could save your life.
That's it. That’s what courage looks like.

A job well done! Kudos to The Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia, PathCare Namibia, Cancer Association of Namibia, Dr Simba, the Dr AB May Cancer Care Centre for this milestone achievement 👏🏽👏🏻👏🏼👏🏿

Cancer breakthrough... Namibia has performed its first-ever Autologous Stem Cell Transplant, a major medical breakthrough for the country in cancer care. Autologous Stem Cell Transplant is a medical procedure where a patient’s own stem cells are collected, stored and then reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy or radiation. The procedure was completed in Windhoek by the Namibia Bone Marrow Transplant Collaboration Group, providing life-saving treatment for blood cancers.
