It re-established the national cancer registry in 2015, screens for cervical and breast cancer at primary care clinics, and in 2017 referred most people needing cancer treatment to South Africa.","summary":"The IAEA's summary of its imPACT review of Eswatini (then Swaziland), published in October 2017, says the country set up a cancer registry in 2015 and began cervical and breast cancer screening at 80 primary care clinics; that only minor cancer surgery was done at three public hospitals and basic chemotherapy for a few cancers at Mbabane Government Hospital; and that with no radiotherapy, the government referred most cancer patients to South Africa. The health minister said the ministry would develop a national cancer control plan and planned a cancer control unit. The African Cancer Registry Network's page says the ministry re-established the registry in August 2015. The government's website (gov.sz) did not answer in November 2026. The coordinates are an approximate city point for Mbabane.","asOf":"2026-11-11","links":[{"label":"IAEA: imPACT review, Eswatini (August 2017, PDF)","url":"https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/documents/review-missions/eswatini_-_2017_impact_review.pdf"},{"label":"African Cancer Registry Network: Eswatini National Cancer Registry","url":"https://afcrn.org/index.php/membership/membership-list/146-eswatinincr"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":["cervical","breast-cancer"],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["eswatini-national-cancer-registry","mbabane-government-hospital","iaea"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"Mbabane","country":"SZ","lat":-26.326,"lng":31.145,"institutionType":"government","programs":["Cervical and breast cancer screening at primary care clinics"]},"route":"/institutions/eswatini-ministry-of-health/","neighbours":{"cancer":[{"id":"breast-cancer","kind":"cancer","name":"Breast cancer (all types)","route":"/cancers/breast-cancer/"},{"id":"cervical","kind":"cancer","name":"Cervical cancer","route":"/cancers/cervical/"}],"institution":[{"id":"eswatini-national-cancer-registry","kind":"institution","name":"Eswatini National Cancer Registry","route":"/institutions/eswatini-national-cancer-registry/"},{"id":"iaea","kind":"institution","name":"International Atomic Energy Agency: Rays of Hope","route":"/institutions/iaea/"},{"id":"mbabane-government-hospital","kind":"institution","name":"Mbabane Government Hospital","route":"/institutions/mbabane-government-hospital/"}]}}
