Led by Dr Vivian Simmons in partnership with Emoyamed Bloemfontein and a team of medical experts, the Colorectal Cancer Awareness Endoscopy Marathon will screen 60 patients over two days - completely free. The event aligns with International Colorectal Cancer Awareness Day on 6 March, emphasizing the life-saving importance of early detection.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and women - but it’s also highly preventable with routine screening. Early stages often show no symptoms, making proactive testing crucial. 

Patients with medical aid, private funding, or public healthcare are welcome to apply. Priority will be given to those with risk factors such as a family history of colorectal cancer, blood in the stool, changes in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss.

Screenings will take place at Emoyamed Bloemfontein, a modern facility with advanced theatres and specialist support, making it easier than ever to access this essential care.

Spaces are limited, so book early! Call 051 011 7818 or 071 894 5503 during office hours for more information or to secure your spot.

Early detection saves lives. Don’t miss this vital opportunity for prevention and care.
