Dr Daniel Osei-Fofie speaks to ecancer about transforming cancer care through telemedicine.

Telemedicine improves global access to cancer care and reduces disparities. It trains healthcare workers in prevention, early detection, and treatment, enhancing care quality.

In South Africa, the ECHO model educates community healthcare workers, resulting in earlier lung cancer diagnoses.

Dr Osei-Fofie talks about how ECHO has helped cancer patients in Lesotho by creating opportunities for them to get cancer treatment in India and South Africa.

Partnership with ECHO has also helped improve local cancer treatments, reducing travel for patients.
