After a long journey from Nigeria to Melbourne, I arrived at the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit 2025 with one goal: to learn, engage, and bring back insights that can strengthen cancer care in Nigeria. #WCLS2025

Representing Medicaid Cancer Foundation at #WCLS2025 was a privilege. Our work in #HPV vaccination, early detection, and community engagement aligns with global priorities and we’re ready to scale further. #Medicaid @McCabeLawLLC @CANCERKESHO @StJude @MedicaidcfP @DrZSB

Melbourne provided space to learn, unlearn, and rethink. I met leaders committed to supporting African countries with training, partnerships, technical assistance, and workforce development.
English
Another standout theme:
👉 Equity must drive cancer control.
No country can succeed if its poorest, most rural, or most marginalised are left behind.
English
We saw how decentralised systems reduce travel burdens, improve early detection, and enable seamless referrals. Many lessons for Nigeria as we work to strengthen equitable access.
@MonashUni
English
A key highlight was our technical visit to the @MonashUni Partners Comprehensive Cancer Consortium (MPCCC).
They shared “spotlight stories” on decentralised cancer care team-based, community-driven, data-informed.
English
One big lesson echoed across almost every session:
👉 Patient navigation saves lives.
Countries that use structured navigation systems report earlier diagnoses, fewer delays, better adherence, and improved patient experience.
@Baheyafoundation
English
The energy in Melbourne was inspiring — global leaders, advocates, researchers, ministries of health, and patient voices all gathered under one theme: Bridging Divides, Building Futures.

Honored to join global leaders in Cairo to advance equity & innovation in women’s cancer care.
I am inspired by their presidential initiative on breast cancer, which has screened 56M women since 2019.
Together, we’re ensuring no woman is left behind in the fight against cancer. 🌍💪
