ABOUT

About

AORTIC (African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer) is an African based non-governmental organisation that is dedicated to the promotion of cancer control and palliation in Africa.  Our Executive members are high profile experts in the cancer field who volunteer as knowledge workers for the plight of cancer patients in Africa. We strive to unite the African continent in achieving its goal of a cancer-free Africa, and seek to make a positive impact throughout the region through collaboration with health ministries and global cancer organisations.

To date, AORTIC is actively connected to the global community, with a vast electronic database as well as paper and electronic newsletters sent out quarterly in English and French. AORTIC has been represented at a number of cancer-related conferences around Africa and the world and despite some challenges held a very successful 8th International conference in Cairo, Egypt, entitled “Entering the 21st Century for Cancer Control in Africa” from 30 November - 2 December 2011. The conference attracted 300 delegates – the vast majority from 32 of the 52 countries in Africa and looks forward to its next conference in Durban, South Africa, in 2013.
