On Sunday 31st August 2025, we had the privilege of being part of the Rotary Cancer Run Medical Village, where hospitals and health organisations from across the country came together to serve the community through cancer screening.
Medical Village Cancer Screening
As 3Rivers Cancer Centre, we partnered with Oncopharm, BioHealth Africa, and Metropolis to offer some cancer screening services at the Medical Village. Together, we provided a range of services; Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C testing, PSA for prostate health, haemoglobin checks, random blood sugar testing, nutrition counselling and HPV self-testing services, making screening more accessible.
From the moment the runners started arriving, there was a buzz around the Medical Village. Lines began forming early; young and old, students as young as 17, families, and even elderly runners who had just completed their race. Some people stopped by, curious and asking, “What’s PSA?” while others were eager to know their blood sugar levels or check their Hepatitis B&C status.
Interactions at the Medical Village
What stood out most were the conversations. We offered medical advice to individuals who wanted to understand their risks better, and we saw relief on the faces of those who received reassuring results. Nutrition tips were also shared; simple but impactful steps to lower cancer risk through lifestyle changes.
It was inspiring to see so many people of all ages, not only running for a cause, but also taking action for their own health. The Medical Village became more than a service point; it was a place of learning, reassurance, and hope. By the end of the day, hundreds of people had been served, each interaction reinforcing why early detection matters. It saves lives and reduces the burden of treatment.
We are grateful to the Rotary Cancer Run Medical Village team for reaching out to us and for creating a platform where collaboration could shine, and cancer awareness raised.
