Africa Myeloma Foundation - Goals

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.

Famous quotes containing the word goals:

    “We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be. The question is not what we can do now for the hypothetical Mexican, the hypothetical Negro. The question is what we really want out of life, for ourselves, what we think is real.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “If you really think about it, everything is wonderful in this world, everything except for our thoughts and deeds when we forget about the loftier goals of existence, about our human dignity.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.”
    —Judith Viorst (20th century)
