Nazik Hammad shared the post by Haimanot Kasahun, Clinical Oncologist at Saint Paul’s Hospital, on LinkedIn, adding the following:
“Amazing, Haimanot. We have so many expectations of ESHO. Time for Ethiopian oncologists to assume their leadership role in the African continent. Their remarkable energy and intellect will help transform the cancer landscape in Africa. So proud of you and your colleagues”
Quoting Haimanot Kasahun:
“I’m happy to announce that it has been a while since I have been working as Ethiopia Society of Hematology and Oncology (ESHO) research and publication focal person. I would like to call for a collaboration with both local and international partners/individuals interested in cancer care researchs and publications.”
