Highlights
- In Pakistan, patients with breast cancer consult with general practitioners and pir for diagnosis.
- Consultants referred the highest number of patients to diagnostic centers.
- Patients visited several pir and general practitioners, but the average number of visits to pir and hakim was higher than other health practitioners.
- Patients had a lengthier treatment period with pir and hakim, and hakim had the highest consultation fees.
- The absence of a formal referral system in Pakistan causes delays in breast cancer diagnosis, resulting in patients spending significant time, money, and resources visiting different health practitioners.
