Factors Influencing Guardians' Health‐Seeking Decisions for Children With Burkitt Lymphoma in Northern and Central Malawi
We identified financial and non-monetary barriers affecting health-seeking behavior among guardians of children with BL in Malawi. Targeted initiatives to alleviate the economic burden of cancer on affected families and increased awareness campaigns in the community are critical to improving BL outcomes in Malawi and other low-resourced settings.
