ILCA Africa Fellowship Programme 2022: All You Need To Get Started
ILCA is intensifying efforts to reduce Africa’s medical aid needs. The African continent has a high incidence of liver cancer. However, there are limited scientific and clinical resources in many parts of Africa for diagnosing, treating and researching this disease. ILCA recognizes the immense clinical and scientific need for this strategy and will develop a strategy that engages African healthcare professionals and organisations in education and training activities.
When is the deadline for applications?
The fellowship deadline is June 3rd, 2022
