World Cancer Day, celebrated every year on February 4th, is a global initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). The goal is to raise awareness about cancer, encourage prevention, detection, and treatment, and mobilize communities to take action.
The 2025 Theme and its Importance
The theme for World Cancer Day 2025 is “Closing the Care Gap.” It emphasizes the importance of equitable access to healthcare services and aims to reduce disparities in cancer care worldwide. This mission is particularly critical for underserved regions where early diagnosis and treatment options are often limited.
According to recent reports by the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer remains a leading cause of death globally, with approximately 10 million deaths annually. Early diagnosis can significantly improve survival rates, making awareness and access to diagnostic tools essential.
Importance of Early Imaging in Cancer Care
Medical imaging plays a vital role in the early detection of cancer, allowing healthcare professionals to identify abnormalities before symptoms appear. Early imaging can lead to timely interventions, improving outcomes and quality of life for patients.
How Radiology Supports Accurate Diagnosis
Radiology provides detailed insights into the human body through technologies such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. These tools help clinicians pinpoint the location, size, and spread of tumors, enabling precise treatment planning.
In Africa, limited access to advanced medical imaging has been a significant barrier to effective cancer care. Bridging this gap is critical to improving survival rates and ensuring equitable healthcare delivery across the continent.

Dr. Bhayroo’s Journey with DRGEM Africa
Dr. Schene Bhayroo, a respected radiologist based in Durban North, has been working with DRGEM Africa for nearly a decade. In his recent testimonial, Dr. Bhayroo reflects on his long-standing relationship with our company, noting the pivotal role DRGEM played in the growth of his practice.
“My name is Dr. Schene Bhayroo, and I’m a radiologist in Durban North. I’ve been working with Nadeem and DRGEM Africa since 2015. He basically started my practice with the purchase of my first X-ray machine, the DRJ machine, and we’ve grown together over the years.”
Dr. Bhayroo’s first X-ray machine, purchased from DRGEM Africa in 2015, laid the foundation for his thriving practice. Seven years later, he continues to partner with DRGEM, now upgrading to his second radiology machine as he moves to a new premises. His experience highlights the reliability, efficiency, and customer-first approach that sets DRGEM Africa apart.
