Tanzania to Host Global Brain Cancer Conference 

Dar es Salaam is prepared to become a regional hub for brain cancer expertise later this month, when more than 200 medical specialists from Africa, Europe, North America and beyond gather for a major international conference on brain tumours.  

The two-day conference will convene specialists in neurosurgery, oncology, radiology, pathology and related fields to share knowledge on modern approaches to detecting and managing brain cancer.  

Key discussions will focus on improved diagnostic methods, advanced treatment technologies, and radiology’s role in identifying and managing brain tumours and other neurological conditions.  

Dr. Mpoki Ulisubisya, Director of the Muhimbili Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Institute, said the gathering will strengthen collaboration among specialists and elevate cancer care services in the country and across the region.   

He added that Tanzania will use the platform to showcase its progress in specialised cancer treatment and diagnostics.
