Improvement of Cancer Care Access: The Government Aims for Equal Opportunities for All Patients

As of December 31, 2025, the Alassane Ouattara National Oncology and Radiotherapy Center (CNRAO) in Ivory Coast had treated 15,936 patients since its opening. The country is strengthening its cancer care strategy through free access to certain anticancer drugs, an inclusive social policy, and supportive care development. The CNRAO's approach is based on five pillars: prevention, screening, advanced technical facilities, multidisciplinary decision-making, supportive care, and financial accessibility, with a partnership since 2019 with Roche covering all anticancer medications, including immunotherapy and targeted therapies.
