UCT prof honoured for her work
CLOSE to three decades of research on cervical cancer was recently recognised when University of Cape Town Professor Lynette Denny received the Order of the Baobab in Silver.
Denny, a senior specialist in the gynaecological oncology in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at UCT has been focused on finding ways of preventing cervical cancer that are safe, feasible, effective and affordable.
She said: “What means most to me is the award comes from my country and honours ‘distinguished service’.
“I think being of service to all of humanity and our earth is critical for us to change the many bad things in the world today.”
