Dr Daniel Osei-Fofie speaks to ecancer about transforming cancer care in Africa through the ECHO project.

The ECHO project tackles the shortage of healthcare personnel in Africa by training and mentoring workers through virtual clinics.

Weekly sessions allow healthcare workers to present cancer cases, enhancing their management skills.

This model reduces referrals to larger hospitals and retains staff in underserved areas.

Collaborating with US centres, the project aims to expand cancer control initiatives, focusing on prevention and early detection while optimising resources for broader healthcare challenges.
