I came across your webinar blog “Challenges-of cancer-care-in-Cameroon” and
have been quite impressed how the situations are.That motivated me to contact you as
regards to possible closer cooperation.
I am not sure how to foresee the developments in Africa if it comes to RT but known

we can maybe start cooperation on that.
mit freundlichen Grüßen.
