## TL;DR

A university hospital in Lomé whose pathology laboratory diagnoses most solid cancers in Togo's public sector. It also has the paediatric unit the national cancer plan builds children's cancer care around.

## Summary

The draft national cancer plan for 2022 to 2025 describes the pathology laboratory of CHU Sylvanus Olympio as the only public diagnostic establishment for cancer, recording about 210 cases a year from 1984 to 2008 and 217 a year from 2009 to 2016 in its laboratory register; solid tumours are recorded there and blood cancers in haematology services. The plan proposes strengthening the hospital's paediatric unit for paediatric oncology. OnCo could not reach the hospital's website. The coordinates are an approximate Lomé city point.
