Increasing access to radiation therapy in Tanzania
Introduction
Cancer cases are increasing in Tanzania, while access to advanced cancer care is limited. Increasing access to radiotherapy can improve survival, quality of life and reduce the financial burden on families and communities, as well as contribute to more equitable and sustainable health care.
Swedfund has received a request to support the evaluation and planning of an expansion of radiotherapy in the country, including financial analysis, demand forecasting, site preparation and implementation support for possible procurement.
