Rather than sending a handful of trainees to Europe or America, build a few large training centres in Africa and South Asia that train the whole team together, with local case mix and local costs.
Specialist oncology training capacity in sub-Saharan Africa is tiny relative to need, and overseas training is expensive and leaky. Regional hubs (building on centres such as Kampala, Nairobi, Lagos, Dar es Salaam, and networks in India) would run accredited programmes across all oncology professions, with rotations, shared curricula, and remote faculty from partner institutions. Training in-region matches trainees to the diseases and constraints they will actually face.
