Understanding the challenges of delivering radiotherapy in low- and middle-income countries in Africa / Ige, Taofeeq (Nigeria U.) ; Lewis, Philippa (JAI, UK) ; Shelley, Charlotte (U. Manchester (main)) ; Pistenmaa, David ; Coleman, C Norman ; Aggarwal, Ajay (King's Coll. London) ; Dosanjh, Manjit (CERN ; Oxford U.)
Background Access to high quality radiotherapy (RT) continues to be a major issue across Africa with Africa having just 34% of its optimal capacity. Methods We co-developed a survey with clinical, academic and policy stakeholders designed to provide a structured assessment of the barriers and enablers to RT capacity building in Africa. The survey covered nine key themes including funding, procurement, education and training. [...]

An opportunity to have a substantial impact on multiple challenging societal problems exists in simultaneously addressing the following: (a) the urgent need for sustainable health care; (b) the importance of mentorship in enabling the emergence of new generations of leaders; (c) the essential need for cross-cultural competency1 to address global crises through problem solving across societal boundaries; and (d) options for continued productivity by the increasing number of older people. Sustainable health care needs to build on cancer care, which requires urgent intervention and encompasses noncommunicable and infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and geographically isolated populations in high-income countries (HICs).

Collaborative strategies for meeting the global need for cancer radiation therapy treatment systems / Dosanjh, Manjit (CERN) ; Aggarwal, Ajay (King's Coll. London) ; Angal-Kalinin, Deepa (Daresbury) ; Apsimon, Robert (Lancaster U. (main)) ; Boogert, Stewart (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Burt, Graeme (Lancaster U.

The idea of designing affordable equipment and developing sustainable infrastructures for delivering radiation treatment for patients with cancer in countries that lack resources and expertise stimulated a first International Cancer Expert Corps (ICEC) championed, CERN-hosted workshop in Geneva in November 2016. Which has since been followed by three additional workshops involving the sponsorship and support from UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). [...]
