## TL;DR

Benin's national teaching hospital in Cotonou. It treats blood cancers and childhood cancers and gives chemotherapy, and it is the main source of cases for the Cotonou cancer registry.

## Summary

The national cancer plan of January 2024 says blood cancers in Benin are treated mainly at the university clinic for blood diseases of CNHU-HKM and at CHUD Ouémé-Plateau, that childhood cancers are managed at those same two hospitals, and that an onco-haematology unit and a chemotherapy unit were set up at the CNHU. The African Cancer Registry Network calls the national teaching hospital the most important source of information for the Cotonou cancer registry. The plan notes there was no radiotherapy in the country. OnCo could not reach the hospital's website.
