📽️ Don’t miss this episode where Princess Dina Mired (@dinamired) and global experts highlight the incredible impact oncology nurses have on children’s lives. Watch it below! 👇
Princess Dina Mired@dinamired

🎙️ New Episode Release 📽️ Watch today: youtu.be/24wnscaPDdo In this episode, Princess Dina shares a personal story from her son’s leukemia treatment in 1998 - and how meeting an advanced practice nurse changed her understanding of cancer care forever. Princess Dina Mired is joined by Julia Challinor, Rehana Punjwani, Courtney Sullivan, and Glenn Afungchwi to spotlight the critical role nurses play in childhood cancer survival - from bedside care and family support, to early diagnosis, health system coordination, and national policy. This episode covers: 🔹 Why oncology nursing is not “general nursing” 🔹 How outdated hierarchies harm children and delay critical decisions 🔹 The reality in many LMICs: extreme nurse-to-patient ratios, limited PPE, and nurses forced into multiple roles 🔹 What urgent investments are needed: specialist education, tools, occupational safety 🔹 How community nurses can accelerate early detection and reduce treatment abandonment 🔹 Real examples of nurse-led quality improvement and infection control programs 🔹 Burnout, compassion fatigue, and the cost of invisibility 🔹 What health ministers must do now: recognition, career pathways, fair pay, and stable specialty assignments Presented by @OncoDaily --- @KHCFKHCC @UICC @CCan_org @NCDalliance @WorldSIOP @WHO @EORTC @StJude @StJudeGlobal @MSUNursing @DowUniversity @WChildCancer #GlobalHealthDialogues #PrincessDinaMired #Nusbaselinestds #PSPO #StJudeGraduateSchoolofBiomedicalScience #SIOP #ChildhoodCancer #PediatricOncology #OncologyNursing #NursesSaveLives #NursingLeadership #GlobalNursing #CancerCare #HealthcareLeadership
