Many countries have one oncologist for millions of people. Train nurses and general doctors to deliver protocolised cancer care with software checks and remote specialist oversight.
Workforce shortages, not drugs, cap cancer treatment in much of Africa and South Asia. Task-shifting with decision support scaled HIV treatment; oncology has pilots (nurse-led chemotherapy, Botswana and Rwanda models, tele-oncology networks). The proposal is a package: protocol-driven regimens for the commonest cancers, a decision-support and safety-check tool validated for use by non-specialists, remote tumour board review, structured training and certification, and outcome registries to monitor safety and quality.
