The Boston Globe: A Boost from Boston in Rwanda's Cancer Fight
By Helen Shen in The Boston Globe
The Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence is being dedicated Wednesday, with former president Bill Clinton and NASCAR driver and major donor Jeff Gordon expected to be on hand. Organizers of the project, which include the Rwandan ministry of health and the Boston-based Partners In Health and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, hope the only specialized cancer facility in the country can serve as a model for addressing the rapid rise of cancer in the developing world.
