Welcome to Cancers Survivors Quest!

Malawi is a small country located in the Central part of Africa in the tropical region. Cancer in Malawi is increasing at a very high rate, currently there are over 10,000 new cases that are being diagnosed. Cancer Survivors Quest is one of organisations that was established in 2011 as a platform to promote the fight against cancer. in Malawi cancer is regarded as a new phenominom and very few people are aware about it, we dont have adequate medical personnel and facilities to treat it; only recently in 2018 has the Malawi Government embarked on building the first cancer Centre in Malawi.
