10-year-old Ratibu Asiligwa with his mother, Jackline Kabeye at Kawempe Home Care, a cancer hostel for children in Kampala, #Uganda. Ratibu receives chemotherapy and takes morphine to alleviate the pain from his #rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of skeletal muscle cells. Many Africans who get #cancer assume they are doomed. “Once you are diagnosed with cancer, they treat you like a dead person,” said George Odongo Ogola, a retired principal being treated for prostate cancer in Kenya. Cancer kills about 450,000 Africans a year. By 2030, it will kill almost 1 million annually, @who predicts. Now, though, in a deal similar to the one that turned the tide against AIDS in Africa, 2 major pharmaceutical companies are working with the @americancancersociety to steeply discount the prices of cancer medicines there. Pfizer and Cipla have promised to charge rock-bottom prices for common #chemotherapy drugs in 6 countries, including #Uganda. Even with cheaper drugs, though, progress against cancer in Africa will likely be slower than it was against AIDS.
