Take at this great overview of a self-assessment tool for use by stakeholders in LMICs interested in expanding access to #radiotherapy by #GlobalRT supporter Andrew Donkor ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3210… What do you think needs to be done to help?
Great red journal article highlighting the increasing interest in Global Health amongst junior trainees. #globalhealth redjournal.org/article/S0360…
By building #radiotherapy capacity in #Kigali @RwaMilitaryHosp to treat #CervicalCancer this month, #Rwanda 🇷🇼 keeps advancing toward the 90-70-90 targets. @WHO stands w/ you as we respond to @DrTedros’ Call to Action to eliminate this #Cancer! @RwandaHealth @WHORwanda @WHOAFRO
Replying to @RBCRwanda
Dr Princess Nothemba Simelela went on to visit the Rwanda Cancer Center @RwaMilitaryHosp. Since its inauguration, on February04th, 2020, the center has provided treatment to more than 350 people, including #CervicalCancer patients
Today, Rwanda joined all countries to celebrate #WorldCancerDay Apart from awareness & sensitization activitiies implemented during last week with other partners, the country inaugurated the 1st Radiotherapy Centre in Rwanda Military Hospital. Very good news for cancer patients

Check out our new #globalRT blog post about a recent trip by a group of physicists from Australia to Mongolia! What strategies do you think are important in helping to better share knowledge and experience in cancer care across the globe? bit.ly/2U4xDob
This week, eight experts from the #LatinAmerica and #Caribbean region are at @iaeaorg HQ to finalize an #IAEATC project which is building capacities in #radiation technologies in order to produce new materials, reduce pollutants and enhance #industrial output across the region!
