SIOP Africa is the branch of SIOP that leads paediatric oncology work in African countries. The aim of SIOP Africa is to improve and disseminate knowledge of childhood malignant diseases and their management in Africa. We work to promote scientific and educational activities and continuing professional development in pediatric oncology in African countries through:

• The organization of educational meetings, symposia and international conferences to be held regularly in member countries.
• The establishment of a platform for scientific publication.
• A regular electronic newsletter.
• To establish, support and unify the use of treatment protocols through member countries of similar scientific standard.
