At the BMSO Annual Meeting 2024, Dr. Peter Vuylsteke (Medical Oncologist and Head of Department Internal Medicine at the University of Botswana) discussed the treatment disparities in oncological care and provided some suggestions on how to bridge this gap.1 Dr. Vuylsteke began by highlighting that not only is there a disparity in care between low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and high-income countries (HIC), but disparities also arise due to the outbreak of war and epidemics such as COVID-19. Finally, regional differences in the quality of care exist.
