Speech Title
Managing head and neck cancers in Bhutan : Challenges and Opportunities for Transnational Cooperation
The Presentation will highlight the challenges faced by a lone head neck oncosurgeon for the entire country when managing patients with head neck cancers. The ideal situation of a multidisciplinary team meeting or tumour board is not feasible due to so many constraints. Often times , you have to take bold decisions which is quite challenging at times. However there are also opportunities to further enhance the quality of care. This can be achieved via sharing of knowledge and expertise especially via a transnational collaborative approach.
