The Aga Khan Hospital, Dar es Salaam, inaugurated its state-of-the-art Cancer Care Centre (CCC) on a monumental occasion that heralds a new era in the battle against cancer in Tanzania and the broader Sub-Saharan Africa region. The inception of CCC at Aga Khan Hospital is a pivotal outcome of the Tanzania Comprehensive Cancer Project (TCCP), an initiative that's driven by donor funding from France and the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and executed through a public-private partnership (PPP) approach. In her opening remarks, the Chairperson of the Executive Committee of the Aga Khan Health Services (AKHS), Princess Zahra Aga Khan, said that in the face of cancer reality, it was noteworthy that there was hope in the power of collaboration, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to strengthen the healthcare system, exchange knowledge, as well as improve and expand cancer care.
