MSK Expands TeLeo Program to Advance Virtual Pediatric Oncology Education in LMICs

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center shared on LinkedIn:

“The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) Kids SNF Global Pediatric Cancer Program co-hosted a session at the 58th Annual Congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology, highlighting the expansion of the TeLeo Program.

The congress is dedicated to advancing the research, treatment, and care of childhood and adolescent cancer.

In partnership with Sant Joan de Déu from Barcleona Spain, we are expanding access to virtual pediatric oncology education by developing English-language courses and helping bring specialized education to low- and middle-income countries where access to training is limited or nonexistent.

Improving access to education strengthens the global workforce, improves care, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for children with cancer.

‘We are proud to be advancing this work together with our partners and helping to build a more connected global pediatric oncology community’, shares Dr. Andrew Kung, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at MSK and Head of the SNF Global Pediatric Cancer Program.

To which Guillermo Chantada, Head Outreach Program. Pediatric Cancer Center Barcelona. Hospital Sant Joan de Deu, added:

“This was an excellent session announcing this new partnership for the Programa TELEO program now expanding to Africa and Oceania with the support from SIOP AFRICA and International Society of Paediatric Oncology – SIOP.

Thank you once again to Sanofi Foundation.”
