This webinar highlights two CAP Foundation Global Pathology Development Grant projects focused on strengthening pathology services in Uganda and Nigeria. 

Featured Projects: 

•  Enhancing Pathology Services and Public Engagement for Improved Cancer Care in Uganda 
•  Improving Quality Management Systems through External Quality Assessment (Nigeria) 

Learn how limited pathology infrastructure, workforce shortages, and challenges in specimen collection, preservation, packaging, and transportation can affect cancer diagnosis. The session explores the project’s strategy for improving diagnostic quality through targeted education, needs assessments, and capacity-building initiatives across multiple levels of the healthcare system.
