In #cancercare, timing makes all the difference. Early detection and quick treatment are both key to survival. Still, many patients find out about their cancer late and start treatment even later. This leads to higher costs, puts pressure on health systems, and lowers the chances of recovery. To help more people survive, we need to support early screening, quicker diagnosis, and fast access to treatment. Waiting too long for #cancer care not only raises costs but also puts lives at risk. #AmrefAtWHSRM @AKUGlobal @WorldHealthSmt @nighealthwatch @WHO @kenconetwork @CCan_org @RwCancerRelief

Today, we stood in solidarity with the @UNRwanda family in Rwanda to mark #Kwibuka32, honoring the lives lost during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Together, we remembered, reflected and reaffirmed our shared responsibility to stand against hatred, division, and injustice.

These past three days have felt surreal. Just two years ago, we launched Rwanda’s medical oncology fellowship program, and today, three of our inaugural fellows defended their theses, the final step before graduation. They will become the first medical oncologists to be trained locally in Rwanda, marking a historic moment for cancer care in our country. They join a small but growing national oncology workforce of 13 clinical oncologists, 4 medical oncologists, and 1 pediatric oncologist. This achievement reflects vision, trust, hard work, and the belief that Rwanda can train its own specialists to an international standard. It is a proud moment, not only for the fellows, but for the future of cancer care in Rwanda.
