Abstract
Many parts of the world do not have healthcare infrastructure and many people die from a lack of medical attention. Photodynamic therapy is portable, inexpensive and effective in the treatment of many malignant conditions in the head and neck and skin (among others). With my coauthors, we have rolled out PDT in a number of settings, initially in Indonesia and susequently in South America and India. There is great potential for this therapy in a number of settings and this will be highlighted in this presentation.
