The GHOS is a multidisciplinary oncology symposium dedicated to increasing awareness of cancer care in the Greater Horn of Africa. It is a forum for exchange of ideas to advance cancer care in this region. By bringing together physicians and oncology industry members from abroad as well as local physicians and politicians, we hope to encourage collaboration on developing local cancer care.
Funds raised during this symposium support the establishment of a cancer center with radiation treatment capability at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) which would serve Moshi and its environs.
All presenters, attendees and volunteers are helping to advance cancer care in the Greater Horn of Africa! We sincerely thank all of the presenters who have funded their own trips to make this symposium a reality!

GHOS Program Director
Our symposium exceeded our expectations. We were able to hear from some of the luminaries in the Radiation Oncology field as well as learn from the local medical and governmental leaders on the future of cancer treatment in Tanzania. We are now planning our next symposium, a 3-day event for 2015 to coincide with our next fundraising climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
