BESTA FOUNDATION

Care That Makes a Difference

Besta Health Foundation eases the cancer burden in Tanzania by supporting patients and families at every stage — from screening and diagnosis to treatment, counselling, and hope. Here's how your support goes to work.

Patient Support

We help patients access radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biopsy at reduced or no cost, easing the financial weight of treatment.

Cancer Screening

Free breast, cervical, and prostate checks through mobile community camps that make early detection possible.

Awareness & Education

Campaigns and materials in Kiswahili and English that spread life-saving knowledge and encourage early testing.

Diagnostic Support

We cover the cost of imaging, biopsy, and lab tests so no patient faces cancer undiagnosed for lack of money.

Psychosocial Care

Weekly counselling that builds emotional strength and hope for patients and families through their hardest days.

Capacity Building

Panels and training for health workers, caregivers, families, and survivors — strengthening cancer care across communities.
