"The COVID-19 pandemic has set us back 10 years, we are late to reach the UN Development Goals. On the other hand, many countries in Africa do not have access to radiotherapy. If steps are not taken to build infrastructure, what can we do? By the way, a girl recently died of smallpox in Cambodia, which is a cause for concern. And COVID-19 is infected by animals, so we need to increase support to the veterinary field. Low-income countries should also have the appropriate infrastructure to detect such diseases in advance and prevent their spread. We cannot fulfill the tasks set before us without data and research".
