Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in African men. Early in 2024, BVGH launched a six-session digital training program covering topics in prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment that were requested by AAI partner hospitals in Anglophone Africa. Responding to its Francophone hospital partners’ priorities, BVGH organized a parallel prostate cancer course held in French. The French course, which was taught by experts from Canada, France, and Senegal, covered the management of prostate cancer patients with low-, intermediate-, and high-risk prostate cancer; advanced and recurrent prostate cancer; and palliative and end-of-life care for prostate cancer patients. BVGH’s course attracted more than 250 clinicians from across 19 African countries.
