PRI's Global Cancer Radio Series

In her series, airing December 3-7, Joanne will take the listener to Uganda’s only cancer hospital to meet a man who was, until recently, the country’s only cancer doctor. She’ll take us to India to learn about a simple, inexpensive test that could save the lives of tens of thousands of women each year. We’ll go with her to Haiti, where the international charity Partners In Health is making a bold push to treat breast cancer.

Cervical Cancer Initiative (CCI) Programme Director Dr Lucrecia Peinado will be participating in a live Facebook chat on Wednesday in the lead up to Part III 'An Ounce of Prevention' (airing December 5), and GAPRI Programme Director Dr Meg O'Brien will feature in Part V 'Dispensing Comfort' (airing December 7).

The series includes five radio pieces as well as an interactive map, slideshows and videos.
