- Brain tumors pose a major global health issue, particularly in Africa, where limited access to diagnostics and treatment amplifies the crisis and lack of standardized cancer protocols.

- The consortium aims to improve brain tumor management by expanding molecular diagnostics, standardizing biobanking, enhancing data collection, and advocating for better care in healthcare policies.
