The Cameroon Oncology Centre has an authorization to treat Cancer by the Ministry of Public Health and National Radiation Agency.

It offers state of the art radiotherapy with a ready team of knowledgeable experts and scientists. The radiation treatment regimens include 3D conformal radiation therapy, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Dynamic Arc Therapy.

It provides upto date medical for over 70 patients on a daily basis using electrons and photons.

COC is located in Bekoko, the outskirts of Douala and is headed by its founder and CEO Process Paul Mobit and a host of Oncologists, and medical physicist, scientists amongst others.
