In conjunction with the month of October of the pink devoted to breast cancer awareness, cancer patients in the Gaza Strip face a very difficult health situation, with the health system being affected and the shortage of medicines and medical equipment needed for diagnosis and treatment. Local estimates indicate that thousands of people have cancer in the sector, while the suffering of breast cancer patients is exacerbated by the disruption of early detection and radiological and chemical treatment services. How has the war affected diagnostic and treatment opportunities? What are the most notable challenges for patients and medical crews? Questions to be asked to Dr. Zayad Al-Shadar, Aram and Al-Abaniyah Consultant at the medical healing complex.
