CLAIM: In the run up to World Cancer Day (5 February) there was a message circulated widely on Zimbabwe social media and WhatsApp platforms announcing that Africa Cancer Foundation was offering free surgery to women who are battling breast cancer.
Cancer is one of the biggest killers in Zimbabwe, and there is pressure on the government to provide more treatment centres.
Is this true or false?
Verdict: False
Africa Cancer Foundation has dismissed the claim, saying there are no surgeries being offered in 2024 as it has no funding for such a programme in 2024. On their website, ACF said the information circulating on social media were messages designed for a programme carried out in 2022.
