Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation AORTIC 2021 Workshop Hour: Brief Summary The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation Global Cancer Disparities Africa Initiative has a mission to help address cancer disparities with a focus on lung, cervical, paediatric, and multiple myeloma in selected sub-Saharan countries. We value collaboration across the region, focusing on communities most at risk of experiencing disparities to accessing care for serious diseases. We empower our partners to develop and test innovative solutions to advance health equity and improve access to quality healthcare for patients. We believe the African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC) Conference provides a good platform for the BMSF Global Cancer Disparities Africa Initiative to create more collaborations, expand our partners’ network and reach, and to learn and share lessons and/or best practices from our interventions with our colleagues across the continent. Our session, titled “Enhancing Sub-Saharan Cancer Care Systems for Targeted Therapy – One Demonstration Project at a Time”, scheduled for November 9th at 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM SAST, will be inviting cancer experts from Botswana, Tanzania, Geneva, and the United States of America who work closely with cancer institutions on the continent to highlight the importance, relevance, and successes of targeted immuno-therapy in cancer patients in Africa.
