The 2024 IHPBA Legacy Initiative targets hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in sub-Saharan Africa, addressing significant healthcare challenges due to high incidence rates and inadequate infrastructure. It focuses on enhancing management pathways and access to care through a multidisciplinary approach, including prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment strategies. Key efforts involve expanding healthcare resources, implementing screening programs, and advocating for policy reforms in collaboration with regional partners. These actions aim to improve HCC outcomes and alleviate the disease burden in the region.
