Lobby groups and cancer patients to march to Gauteng Health Department

JOHANNESBURG - Section 27, the Cancer Alliance, the Treatment Action Campaign and patients are marching to the Gauteng Health Department offices on Tuesday.

The head of Section 27's health rights programme, Khanyisa Mapipa discussed this with eNCA.
