This book covers the win-win model of global health in oncology recommended for effective, high impact and sustainable collaborations in global oncology. The Win-Win Scientific model/initiative for global oncology was proposed by Ahmed Elzawawy in 2007. It aims at increasing affordability of better value cancer treatment in the world via exploring scientific approaches. This also includes flourishing the business of pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of radiotherapy machines and medical devices without ruining a country or individuals economies.

There are 2 mains wings of the win-win initiative. The first wing is “Exploring scientific approaches to increase affordability of better value cancer care”. The second wing of the win-win initiative, was proposed in November, 2015 and declared in 29 April, 2016 during the Global Health Catalyst Summit at Harvard. This wing regards catalyst action and professional advice to increase enormously the rate of establishment of services of clinical oncology in the world. A number of peer-reviewed articles have been published on this. This book will build on this work to expand on what has become a widely recognized approach for evidence-based global oncology action. The book will begin with a definition and review of the win-win model. Describe how every stakeholder can win from student, through academic institutions to governments. Highlight examples of win-win projects for global health impact. Finally, it will cover the lessons learned from win-win global oncology collaborations that can be used or scaled by anyone interested in global health.
