Today, GOSK, in partnership with AstraZeneca, successfully hosted the Genetics in Oncology Care Symposium, bringing together oncology healthcare professionals for a day of learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

The symposium explored the growing role of genetics and precision oncology in cancer care, with engaging discussions on hereditary cancers, genetic testing, biomarker interpretation, and multidisciplinary approaches to patient management.

We are grateful to our expert speakers, participants, and partners for making this event a success. Together, we are building the knowledge and capacity needed to improve access to precision oncology and genetic services in Kenya.
