GLOBAL Partnerships: Bringing World-Class Cancer Care to Africa Through Telehealth.
For too long, cancer has been a death sentence for many in Africa – not because it is untreatable, but because access to specialized care is out of reach for most patients. Today, I am proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership that is set to change that.
Together with Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu (UICC President-Elect), Medicaid Cancer Foundation, WorldCare International, and Mobihealth International, we are harnessing the power of telemedicine and global expertise to ensure that every cancer patient – no matter where they live – can receive timely diagnoses, expert consultations, and personalized treatment plans.
Through Mobihealth’s telemedicine platform, patients across Africa will have virtual access to leading oncologists, while WorldCare’s network of top U.S. and global academic medical centers will provide expert second opinions and customized treatment pathways. Medicaid Cancer Foundation will be instrumental in patient navigation and community awareness, ensuring early detection and guiding patients through their care journey.
How This Partnership Will Change Lives:
- Specialist care, anytime, anywhere – Patients can now consult top oncologists virtually, eliminating the need for costly travel.
- Precision medicine with Pharmacogenomics (PGx) – Treatments tailored to a patient’s genetic profile for better outcomes and fewer side effects.
- Mental health support – Cancer affects more than just the body; we are ensuring psychological care is part of the journey.
- Community outreach and early detection – Medicaid Cancer Foundation is driving grassroots awareness to save lives.
This is more than just healthcare innovation – it is a revolution in equitable cancer care. No one should have to leave their country or go bankrupt to fight cancer. We are bringing the best of global oncology to Africa, for Africans.
Let’s make quality cancer care accessible to all. Join us in this mission!”
