According to the officials, more than 1,000 women suffering from breast cancer have been referred to this center. 

Ziagul, 48, who is suffering from cancer, had surgery around 40 days ago. 

“The doctors told me that they will conduct the surgery here. It has been 40 days since I did the surgery and I feel better now,” Ziagul said. 

The cancer center in Herat said that over 70 percent of patients suffering from breast cancer have lost their lives because they have not seen doctors in time. 

“The women are mostly suffering from breast cancer. As I said their awareness is unfortunately very low,” said Farooq Ahmad Sedeqqi, head of the cancer center of the provincial hospital.
