Awareness and Training in Medical Physics: An Avenue to Enhance Cancer Care Delivery in a Low-Resource Setting.

Purpose: Awareness and training in medical physics (MP) is crucial to enhance productivity and safety in cancer management. We evaluated the impact of the pioneer teaching hospital in Nigeria on awareness and training in MP in an attempt to appraise and enhance cancer care delivery.

Methods: We reviewed physics students' training records in the MP unit of University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria, from June 2009 to June 2019.

Barriers to radiotherapy access at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Introduction: Nigeria has the biggest gap between radiotherapy availability and need, with one machine per 19.4 million people, compared to one machine per 250,000 people in high-income countries. This study aims to identify its patient-level barriers to radiotherapy access.
