ISSM Global Outreach Grant: ISSM-SMSNA Africa Initiative by Daniela Wittmann

A joint program is delivering comprehensive sexual medicine and health training for oncology providers across Africa.

Building on five years of successful in-person and virtual education in Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa, this initiative continues to expand its reach and impact, empowering healthcare professionals with vital knowledge and skills.

"Sexual health is a topic that is rarely discussed as an aspect of cancer care globally. In response to an enthusiastic invitation by a Nairobi cancer center to bring education on sexual health in 2019, our team has continued to provide increasingly in-depth education, including clinical examples discussion with attendees. Our webinars have not only had solid attendance from Sub-Saharan Africa, but the program has also had participants from other parts of Africa and other continents. Participants tell us about their plans to incorporate sexual health assessment in their oncology practice which meets our goal and the goal of ISSM to have a positive impact on the quality of life of cancer patients in Africa." -Daniela Wittmann
