Pholosong Hospital acting CEO Dr Nthabiseng Makgana said this is a special development for the hospital, especially because it is Women’s Month.
“With this new clinic, more women will be able to access breast cancer services right on their doorstep, cutting the waiting time for making a diagnosis and initiating a treatment plan,” she said.
