## TL;DR

The university hospital of Brazzaville, whose cancer and radiotherapy service dates from 1981. It houses the city's cancer registry and the country's histopathology laboratory.

## Summary

The national cancer plan of March 2023 records that a Service de Carcinologie et Radiothérapie was created on 5 December 1981 within the Hôpital Général de Brazzaville, which became the CHU in 1988, to treat people with cancer, gather information for prevention and train oncologists. The African Cancer Registry Network page for the Brazzaville registry, written about 2012, says the registry sits in that service's records section, that the service was by far the largest source of registrations (43% in 2011), that the CHU had the only histopathology laboratory in Brazzaville, and that its cobalt unit was not working for lack of a radiotherapist and physicist. The 2023 plan still records no working radiotherapy in the country, and IAEA DIRAC lists none. The hospital's website had an expired certificate. The coordinates are an approximate Brazzaville city point.
