Global Health Catalyst Summit

Radiating Hope was asked to speak at the Global Health Catalyst Cancer Summit @ Harvard Medical School. This summit is one of the hardest to get to and one we have been climbing for the last 5 years. Nathan Tonlaar MD, project director of our Ghana effort, represented Radiating Hope, presenting the role of radiation oncology in developing countries. The objective of the summit was to provide a forum for discussion, development and adoption of tangible actions that can be taken as well as innovative approaches to catalyze high impact international collaborations in cancer Care Research and Education with Africa in Radiation Oncology, Cancer prevention and Advocacy.  We were in good company with participants from Harvard Catalyst affiliated institutions, Boston Area Universities, University of Massachusetts, John Hopkins University, Duke University, The University of Pennsylvania, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Cleveland Clinic, Fred Chase Hutchinson cancer center, United Nations (International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) PACT), University of Tanzania. Pretty amazing event!!
