Late screening and testing for cancer have been two of the biggest stumbling blocks in addressing rising cancer cases. 

Dr. Gerrit Keyter, Head of Medical Services for Palliative Care at the Cancer Association of Namibia (CAN), said late diagnoses have made treatment of cancer difficult.

Ohlthaver & List (O&L) has donated N$500,000 to the Oncology Department at Windhoek Central Hospital in support of cancer screening, patient support services and awareness campaigns.
