A single professional home for the UAE's oncology and radiotherapy community.

EORA was established to give the UAE’s oncology and radiotherapy community a single professional home. We bring together clinicians, researchers, and allied health professionals across hematology (haematology), medical oncology, and radiation oncology, connected through the conferences we run, the education we support, and the research we help advance. EORA works with healthcare authorities and international partners to raise the standard of cancer care in the UAE.
