Prisca Gozwa – Breast Cancer Survivor, Educator, and Beacon of Hope
Ms. Prisca Gozwa is a seasoned educator with 28 years of service in Zambia’s teaching profession, where she currently serves as a Senior Education Standards Officer. Known for her calm strength and unshakable faith, Prisca’s journey with breast cancer began in 2016 when she discovered a lump in her left breast.
Despite initial misdiagnosis and fear, her courage and determination eventually led her to seek the right care — a decision that saved her life. Undergoing a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, Prisca emerged not just as a survivor, but as a symbol of resilience and hope for countless others walking the same path.
Her attending surgeon, Dr. Namwaka Mukunyandela, describes her as “a woman whose composure, bravery, and faith were unwavering even in the face of uncertainty. Prisca inspired not only her doctors, but everyone around her, becoming a beacon of hope and healing at the Cancer Diseases Hospital.”
Nearly a decade later, Prisca continues to live strong, healthy, and grateful — a living testimony that “cancer is not a death sentence, but a journey that can be overcome through early detection, medical care, and the grace of God.”
Today, she shares her story in our Scars of Womanhood series — “Breast Cancer: The Superwoman” — to inspire other women to find strength, courage, and faith through life’s greatest battles.
