The data I reported are the result of direct knowledge of the situation in the four countries appointed. In fact, the sub-Saharan Africa, except exceptions, it is almost in these conditions. The surgical pathology labs exists but generally one for country and with few pathologists working in laboratories below acceptable standards.
It is not only a problem of resources, it is also a problem of lack of professionals preparations. Only a few do reach to levels of high competence and when they get there often remain abroad where they studied orin the capital. The result is that for the majority of the population is absolutely impossible to have a diagnosis.
Only a few years the world noticed that the Africans die of cancer, which is not a privilege of Western nations
Our NGO, Patologi Oltre Frontiera (www.patologioltrefrontiera.it ), works in this direction but is almost alone
