2023 and 2024.
After our BICRAA app (www.bicraa.org)
had been successfully tested in India
(n=1049), showing that around 30% chew
betel nut (we would like to thank Prof.
Kelkar and Dr. Pethe from the Deenanath
Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune, for their
invaluable support), the app has continued
to help raise the awareness of the risks of
betel nut chewing.
We have continued working on a global
study to extend these efforts in India and
other countries.
With regard to our work in Indonesia, we
have continued to closely work with our
partners at the Dr. Sardjito Hospital/Gadjah
Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia,
and one of the trustees, Mr. Matt Lechner,
travelled there in September 2022 to
support the local Nasopharyngeal Cancer
(NPC) awareness and early detection
programme and to support research and
publications of results. The Storz company
has continued to support our programme
and in 2023 and 2024 we will be able to
award four fellowship grants to young
surgeons, sponsored by a donation by
Storz, allowing them travel to low and
middle income countries and to help with
the local charitable work.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
