10th Burjeel Holdings Oncology Conference
Tackling the Burden of a Life-Threatening Disease
Cancer is the second leading cause of deaths worldwide, with low-and-middle income countries shouldering most of the cancer burden. As global communities continue to fight against rising rates of diagnoses and the growing cost of treatment, healthcare professionals are turning towards new and emerging technology. With advancements like AI and appropriate funding, cancer could be eradicated in this generation. Join Burjeel Holdings, in partnership with Foreign Policy, on the 10th anniversary of our oncology conference, to hear from medical practitioners, researchers, and policymakers on the next generation of cancer care and how to ensure equitable and universal access to life-saving treatment.
