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:
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
—Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)
“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)
