SA’S CANCER STORY (PART 4): The many long journeys for cancer treatment far from home

The road to cancer treatment in South Africa often involves many encounters with healthcare workers and long journeys far from home.

This is part 4 of Daily Maverick and Spotlight’s special series on cancer in South Africa.
