• W4312084010 abstract "Access to high quality radiotherapy (RT) continues to be a major issue across Africa with Africa having just 34% of its optimal capacity. We co-developed a survey with clinical, academic and policy stakeholders designed to provide a structured assessment of the barriers and enablers to RT capacity building in Africa. The survey covered nine key themes including funding, procurement, education and training. The survey was sent to RT professionals in 28 countries and the responses underwent qualitative and quantitative assessment. We received completed questionnaires from 26 African countries. Funding was considered a major issue, specifically the lack of a ring fenced funds from the Ministry of Health for radiotherapy and the consistency of revenue streams which relates to a lack of prioritisation for RT. In addition to a significant shortfall in RT workforce disciplines, there is a general lack of formal education and training programmes. 13/26 countries reported having some IAEA support for RT for education and training. Solutions identified to improve access to RT include a) increasing public awareness of its essential role in cancer treatment; b) encouraging governments to simplify procurement and provide adequate funding for equipment; c) increasing training opportunities for all radiotherapy disciplines and d) incentivizing staff retention. This survey provides unique information on challenges to delivering and expanding radiotherapy services in Africa. The reasons are heterogonous across countries but one key recommendation would be for national Cancer Control plans to directly consider radiotherapy and specifically issues of funding, equipment procurement, servicing and training. The study demonstrates the importance of mixed methods research to inform policy and overcome barriers to radiotherapy capacity and capability in LMICs." @default.
