Global Oncology University partnership with leading African Universities announced during the Global Health Catalyst summit at Harvard/MIT
October 1, 2025
The Global Oncology University (GO‑U) has launched a landmark partnership with leading African institutions—including the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Uzima University Kenya, and ICT University—to transform oncology education across the continent. Announced at the Global Health Catalyst Summit at Harvard/MIT in September, the collaboration will enable trainees throughout Africa to earn accredited, jointly awarded degrees from their local/regional universities and GO‑U. The initiative is designed to deliver the same world‑class training available at top global institutions such as Harvard, Johns Hopkins, the University of Pennsylvania, Oxford, Cambridge, and the University of Heidelberg, whose faculty will actively participate. This partnership marks a major step toward expanding equitable access to advanced cancer education and strengthening the oncology workforce across Africa. Similar partnerships will be announced with partners in other leading local and regional universities soon.
RENEWED FUNDING FROM NIH TO SUPPORT GLOBAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM CALLED CAREER TO TRAIN TRANSFORMERS IN GLOBAL HEALTH AT JOHNS HOPKINS.
September, 2025
Before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the radiation oncology workforce reported only 7% practicing underrepresented minority (URM) physicians, with only 4% in academia. Data from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine also shows only about 3% of African Americans in Medical Physics including Radiation Oncology Medical Physics. There are similar disparities with Latinos and other under-represented minorities (URM) categories. Overall, these numbers have remained relatively stagnant for a while now. Radiotherapy practice remains woefully behind in its representation of physicians and medical physicists ant therapists from URM. Overall, there is great need for concerted efforts to address this, and increase the quality of the radiotherapy workforce to address current RT limitations and reduce disparities. To address this unmet need, the CaREER (Cancer Research Education Excellence in Radiotherapy) program will train the next generation of scientists, technologists, and physicians skilled in research in emerging transformative areas of RT, and with innovation focus on addressing disparities in the USA and in global health. The CaREER program is an outcome of collaborations from the Global Health Catalyst summits, in consonance with GO-U. Learn more here and apply for the CaREER program at Johns Hopkins Medicine with opportunities for global health career development in oncology. The application deadline is February 1, 2026.

COLLABORATION INITIATIVES
GLOBAL HEALTH CATALYSTS SUMMIT
The Global Health Catalyst (GHC) summit is a premier yearly event dedicated to catalyzing high impact international collaborations and initiatives to eliminate global health disparities. The main focus of the summits are on the rising scourge of non-communicable diseases like cancer, mental health, pain and cardiovascular diseases which are severely impacting global health and economic development.
Since 2015, the yearly summits have led to many win-win collaborations including the launch of two major collaboration initiatives: the comprehensive cancer center in the cloud (C4) powered by artificial intelligence and the Global Phytomedicines collaboration initiatives.
WORLD PREMIER COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER IN THE CLOUD (C4)
The C4 is an award-winning Expert-remote (tele-oncology) solutions platform, representing the world's premier Comprehensive Cancer Center in the Cloud (C4) powered by artificial intelligence. The C4 provides a platform to allow access from any where in the world to the same quality of cancer care research and education available at the world's leading comprehensive cancer centers. In cancer care the C4 integrates a tele-medicine platform allowing for tasked-shifted teleoncology with partners in low and middle income countries (LMICs). In research, the C4 supports collaborative research in the cloud including multi-center clinical trials. C4 education is implemented via the award winning collaborative education model via the global oncology University.
INTERNATIONAL PHYTOMEDICINES INSTITUTE
From Farm to Bedside
The Global Phytomedicines Institute (GPI) is a world leading collaboration initiative dedicated to dramatically increasing access to evidence-based medicinal plants for global health and economic development.
Vision: Unprecedented Health and Wealth from Medicinal Plants
Mission: Providing the best Research, Education, Consultation/care, and Outreach with different stakeholders and over a billion people who use Medicinal Plants across the world.
RELIGION AND GLOBAL HEALTH FORUM
The GHC is a major catalyst for the establishment of the Religion and Global Health Forum, with Major Hub at Drew University. The Forum partners with scientists, researchers, religious leaders, writers, poets, educators, counselors, etc. in the fields of medical, social, political, and environmental sciences, to host panel discussions, presentations, and partnership building platforms that will improve individual and public health outcomes across the world. The Forum brings the expertise of different health-related disciplines to share knowledge, strategies, challenges, and processes associated with examining religion as a health asset and a catalyst for health.
