US Embassy To Host Cancer Roundtable

There are numerous challenges to address cancer, such as delays in treatment, lack of trained personnel, limited follow-up care, and limited patient education. With the number of cancer patients increasing rapidly, it is critical to double our efforts to improve diagnosis and treatment.

The Government of Botswana works closely with the United States National Cancer Institute (US NCI) as well as other partner institutions and universities to tackle cancer. In the past three years, the US NCI funded 12 research grants with sites in Botswana.
