This was an amazing symposium. Evidence that Africa has talent and skills, which, if well tapped, can provide innovative and precision solutions to the cancer burden on the continent @NCIKenya @CANCERKESHO @KILELEHealthKE @MOH_Kenya

Lobbying African governments, rich firms like @DangoteGroup to invest in cancer research and affordable comprehensive cancer centers in Africa is a likely game changer. The recent actions by global regimes is a prove that Africa research should be funded by Africa
