Founding of SNOSSA

The Sub-Saharan Africa Neuro-Oncology Collaborative (SNOSSA) was founded in 2017. SNOSSA is an initiative aimed at improving the care and outcomes for patients with brain and spinal cord tumors in sub-Saharan Africa through collaborative research, education, and clinical care efforts. The organization brings together neuro-oncology professionals from across the region and beyond to address the unique challenges faced in this area and to promote advancements in neuro-oncology in sub-Saharan Africa. SNOSSA continues to partner with sister organizations such as the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO), European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) and the Society for Neuro-Oncology Latin America (SNOLA) as well as the International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA).

In 2023, EANO participated in the Society for Neuro-Oncology Sub-Saharan Africa conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Fantastic that we were part of this very successful SNOSSA2023 with colleagues and friends from the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO).
