Miva Open University shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Flashback to the incredible Miva Masterclass with Her Excellency Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, a distinguished Consultant Pediatrician, Founder/CEO of Medicaid Cancer Foundation, Medicaid Radio-Diagnostics and Clinics, Chairperson, First Ladies Against Cancer (FLAC), Member, Board of Union of International Cancer Control (UICC), and global cancer advocate, on Wednesday, 26th June.

We were deeply inspired by her insights on Holistic Paediatric Care and her unwavering dedication to fighting childhood cancer.

Look out for the recorded session on our YouTube channel @mivauniversity.”

Tayo Arulogun, Vice Chancellor at the Miva Open University, shared this post, adding:

“Her Excellency, Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, delivered an awe-inspiring presentation on cancer, education, and advocacy that left us all deeply moved!

Dr. Shinkafi-Bagudu’s passion for increasing awareness about cancer, cancer care, policy advocacy through Medicaid Cancer Foundation,  for women and children, was extraordinary. She is truly an exceptional educator and advocate.

Some powerful takeaways for Miva Open University students and fellow participants:

• Communication skills are vital for success in all areas.
• Moderation is key – too much of anything is harmful.
• Early diagnosis is crucial for effective cancer management.
• Everyone should be actively involved in cancer awareness and advocacy.

Thank you, Dr. Shinkafi-Bagudu, for your impactful insights and dedication. Together, we can make a difference!

Question to ponder on: How can we, as individuals and organizations, contribute more effectively to cancer awareness in our communities?”
