22 October, 2024

Dear HIFA friends,

A quick note to say that the new edition of the annual Cancer Control 2024 is now available online at https://www.cancercontrol.info/cc2024-contents/. It can downloaded for free and is full of interesting news from around the world. Of particular interest to HIFA readers will be the article on the Ndjamena Cancer Registry (go to https://www.cancercontrol.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/42-47.pdf) Authored by Fatima Haggar, (Director, National Cancer Control Programme, Ministry of Public Health, Ndjamena, Chad), it highlights the key challenges encountered during the implementation of the country’s first PBCR (population-based cancer registry) and reports the results of the first two years of cancer registration in Chad, representing vital data for policymakers.

Best wishes,

Mark
