World Cancer Day: Supporting you every step of the way

World Cancer Day is observed each year to raise awareness about cancer prevention, early detection and treatment. This year’s theme, ‘United by Unique,’ reminds us that every cancer diagnosis is personal, and that each person’s journey is different.

Preventative care is of great importance. In South Africa, around 110 000 new cancer cases are diagnosed each year. These numbers highlight just how essential regular screenings and early check-ups are. When cancer is detected early, treatment can begin sooner, more options may be available, and health outcomes can improve. Early detection also helps individuals feel more informed, prepared and in control of their healthcare journey. Taking simple proactive steps, such as routine screenings and paying attention to changes in your body, can make a life-changing difference.

We understand that a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Our Oncology Management Programme is designed to support you throughout your treatment journey by guiding you on appropriate treatment options, helping ensure your care aligns with your available benefits, and providing clinical support and coordination when you need it most. This support aims to give you clarity and reassurance during what can be a complex and emotional time.

You are not alone. Having access to clear information and compassionate support can make a meaningful difference when navigating a cancer diagnosis. At Bonitas, we are committed to standing with you , helping you access the right care, at the right time, so you can focus on what matters most: your health and wellbeing.
