Abstract

In this endeavor, we apply the ANN (12, 12, 1) model to examine monthly breast cancer cases seen and managed at Gweru Provincial Hospital (GPH). The referral system of Zimbabwe is such that doctors at any health facilities in the country; refer cancer cases straight to central hospitals at the quaternary level. The cases analyzed here were initially managed at GPH. The data cover the period Janauary 2010 – December 2019. The out-of-sample period is January 2020 – December 2021. The applied model is stable as indicated by its residuals. The results of the study basically indicate that breast cancer cases will be ranging between 1 and 3 at GPH over the out-of-sample period. The study offers a 3-fold policy direction in order to prevent, control and effectively manage breast cancer cases not only GPH but also in the country at large.
