Francine's story: Treating cancer in Rwanda
Loading...
Uploaded by PartnersInHealth on Dec 11, 2011
Cancer and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and cardiovascular disease have become major problems in low-income countries like Rwanda.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that NCDs account for about 25 percent of Rwanda's national burden of disease. And NCDs are projected to become an even larger problem in the coming years. For example, cancer deaths are expected to double over the next 20 years, from 7.6 million deaths worldwide in 2008 to 13.2 million deaths in 2030, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer. And the WHO estimates that there will be 21.4 million new cancer cases diagnosed worldwide in 2030, with nearly two-thirds of these diagnoses occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
