Why your support matters
Sub-Saharan Africa faces a critical shortage of health workers trained in cancer care. Go Together addresses this gap by equipping frontline health workers- including nurses, medical officers, and facility leaders with practical oncology skills to recognize cancer earlier, strengthen biopsy and referral pathways, and help patients access timely care.
What does one trained healthcare worker make possible?
Supports training and capacity-building
for one frontline health worker.
Trained health worker
Equipped to strengthen earlier identification, biopsy pathways, and patient navigation.
Patients
Can be reached each year through earlier identification and connection to care.
$500 can help bring approximately 100 patients closer to earlier cancer diagnosis each year.
