Abstract

Childhood cancer treatment in Africa has a dramatically increasing patient population resulting in greater rehabilitation needs. The International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) mapped childhood cancer services in Africa including access to physiotherapy. Irrespective of income classification, just over two‐thirds of countries in Africa reported having access to physiotherapy services in paediatric oncology sites. There is a lack of knowledge about African childhood physiotherapy services. Research is needed to understand the rehabilitation needs of these children/adolescents and how to meet their needs in a globally equitable and sustainable way.
