Establishing Cancer Centers of Excellence in Africa for Improved Prevention and Treatment

The MADCaP Association and Ancestry Working Group aims to establish Centers of Excellence across Africa to enhance knowledge about cancer and translate this understanding into better prevention, detection, and treatment. These centers will provide high-quality training, research, and advocacy facilities, assist in implementing national cancer plans, and reduce reliance on foreign institutions. Key partnerships with prestigious universities and organizations will strengthen this initiative, fostering local expertise and minimizing brain drain in the African healthcare landscape.
