Debate Session (31-01-2026): Invest in Genomic Databases for Pediatric Cancers in Africa? | G1 — Aff

Welcome to the Policy Advocacy in Genetics and Genomics course debate session, hosted by the Pan-African PGS Education and Research Initiative (PAPERI). This video features the Affirmative Team from Group 1, supporting the motion: “Should African governments invest in creating genomic databases for pediatric cancers, including leukemia, to improve treatment equity?” The Affirmative Team argues that African nations must invest in pediatric cancer genomic databases because: ✅ They enable precision diagnosis and tailored treatment for children across the continent. ✅ They help reduce harsh survival disparities between African children and those in high-income countries. ✅ They build critical genomic infrastructure for long-term cancer research in Africa. ✅ They support earlier detection, better outcomes, and more equitable access to care. ✅ They strengthen national and regional capacity in pediatric oncology, bioinformatics, and genomics. 🎥 Watch the Negative Team’s counterarguments here: [   • Debate Session (31-01-2026): Invest in Gen...  ] 📌 Reflect on whether genomic databases represent a necessary investment to protect Africa’s children — or a resource-intensive commitment with unanswered questions. #PediatricCancer #GenomicsInAfrica #HealthEquity #PAPERI #PolicyDebate #CancerGenomics #ChildHealth #PrecisionMedicine #AfricaResearch
