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 from past experience that we can be quite optimistic.
Please let me know, if you plan any activities such as local RT events or trainings so that we can maybe start cooperation on that.
mit freundlichen Grüßen.
I am happy to hear about the dedication from you and your team. Your efforts are quite impressive.
I would love to work with you on some projects in the future.
Thanks!
