WINDHOEK: Namibia, as a country, can empathize with the pain that the British population is currently suffering because they, too, have lost their late President to cancer. This was said by Rolf Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of the Cancer Association of Namibia (CAN) in the wake of a recent announcement from Buckingham Palace regarding the cancer diagnosis of His Majesty King Charles III.

In addition to expressing solidarity with the King and his family, CAN acknowledges the recent loss of its president, a respected figure in Namibia's fight against cancer.

'Our thoughts are with the royal family and the people of the United Kingdom as they navigate the challenging journey.
