Which country in Africa statistically has the highest rate of cancer and is it related to race and economic inequality?

  • 7

Data from the UN and World Health Organisation seems to point to South Africa. Despite this, not a singe African country features in the top ten countries with the highest rates of Cancer in the world. This leads to my question on the economic gap between blacks and whites in South Africa.

Race may not be significant here but it is obvious that blacks have limited access to diagnostic facilities due to expensive health facilities or illiteracy and lack of cancer awareness. Since more white people seem to have cancer as compared to black people, is this connected to race and economic inequality?

    maybe it is because the other countries are not collecting enough data to be published

    South Africa is the perfect guinea pig for this study because of its diverse demography. However, the cancer we should be fighting is that of greed and corruption especially by political leaders.

    South Africa is at a vantage point to use it’s resources and exposure as a bridge to the rest of Africa but instead we hear of xenophobia.
