The African Cancer Organization (ACO) is a voluntary non-governmental, non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian charitable cancer organization which was formed in 2008 to control cancer and its effects on the African continent. ACO is dedicated to reducing the impact of cancer in Africa through the provision of effective and feasible public awareness interventions aimed at reducing cancer incidence, suffering and mortality. The vision of ACO is to increase cancer awareness about primary prevention and early detection in a bid to phase out the currently prevailing advanced stages of cancers in Africa.
