In Zimbabwe, the true number of brain tumour patients remains unknown due to a lack of reliable statistics. Without accurate data, it is difficult to fully understand the scope and impact of brain tumours on our population. As with any challenge, knowledge is the first step toward overcoming it.

Establishing a comprehensive Brain Tumour Registry is crucial for gathering reliable data on brain tumour cases across the country. A registry would provide invaluable insights needed for effective planning, resource allocation, and the development of targeted strategies to combat brain tumours. It would also play a vital role in the training of healthcare professionals, ensuring that more doctors and specialists are equipped to diagnose, treat, and manage brain tumours effectively.

By understanding the true scale of Brain Tumours in Zimbabwe, we can better advocate for the resources, awareness, and expertise needed to improve the lives of those affected by brain tumours in Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwe Brain Tumour Association (ZBTA) is seeking partners to collaborate in developing a dedicated Brain Tumour Registry in Zimbabwe. This registry will collect and analyse data on brain tumour cases nationwide, providing critical insights into the prevalence, types, and characteristics of brain tumours in Zimbabwe. The information gathered will guide research, enhance treatment strategies, and support public health initiatives tailored to the unique needs of our population.

Why the Brain Tumour Registry Matters:

• Offers valuable data to drive brain tumour research.
• Improves treatment strategies for better patient outcomes.
• Informs public health policies and initiatives.
