Dr Sanjeev Arora speaks to ecancer about Project ECHO.

Project ECHO was launched in 2003 and addresses inequity in cancer care by democratising medical expertise.

Dr Arora talks about how this project came into being when he was inspired by a patient with Hepatitis C who did not get the treatment she needed in time due to financial constraints and lack of awareness and expertise.

Project ECHO trains new specialists through digital technology, improving access and reducing wait times.

The project's success has sparked global interest in similar models for cancer care.

Digital platforms like I ECHO support knowledge sharing, but challenges in medicine availability and affordability persist, especially in low and middle-income countries.
