Goals
The AMF has identified certain factors as critical to making a significant impact on the treatment of myeloma in the African continent. To that end, it has adopted to work towards:
- Establishing multiple myeloma research and treatment centers,
- Developing a myeloma data bank,
- Introducing clinical trials for new drugs.
In the interim, the AMF would be a platform where myeloma patients, their caregivers, and medical professionals in the continent and from around the world, can converge to:
- Access information about the condition
- Share their experiences
- Connect to build local support groups, and
- Raise awareness about the increasing incidence of the condition in the Continent.
AMF hopes to achieve these through partnership with host Universities, myeloma and cancer organizations, research centers from around the world, and the pharmaceutical industry.
