A Global Alliance to Expand the Oncology Workforce in Sub-Saharan Africa
Go Together is a global alliance working to strengthen the oncology workforce in Sub-Saharan Africa. With support from Rutgers Global Health Institute, we partner with governments, healthcare institutions, and non-profits to train healthcare workers, improve access to cancer care, and build sustainable solutions.
Over 10 million
Cancer kills nearly 10 million people a year worldwide. About 70% of these deaths are in low- and middle-income countries.
7 out of 10
In sub-Saharan Africa, 7 out of 10 cancer patients will die from it, and the number of cancer deaths per year is expected to double by 2040.
Less than 1 in 1,000,000
On average, there is less than 1 oncologist for every 1 million people in the region. The shortage of trained healthcare workers is one of the main reasons for cancer’s high mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa.
