LILONGWE, July 3 (Xinhua) -- Malawi's National Cancer Center officially opened on Wednesday, marking the end of decades of referring cancer cases to India, South Africa, Tanzania, and other countries for treatment that often came with hefty costs.

Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera inaugurated the center in Lilongwe, the country's capital. The facility is expected to serve not only Malawi but also the southern African region.
