Challenges and Outcomes of Retinoblastoma Treatment in Ethiopia: A Case of Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia

The treatment outcomes for retinoblastoma were suboptimal, affected by delayed presentation and inadequate adherence to treatment. This emphasizes the critical need for improved early detection programs, enhanced treatment adherence strategies, and strengthened healthcare infrastructure to mitigate the impact of retinoblastoma and improve treatment outcome in resource-limited settings like Ethiopia.

Abstract

The treatment outcomes for retinoblastoma were suboptimal, affected by delayed presentation and inadequate adherence to treatment. This emphasizes the critical need for improved early detection programs, enhanced treatment adherence strategies, and strengthened healthcare infrastructure to mitigate the impact of retinoblastoma and improve treatment outcome in resource-limited settings like Ethiopia.
