Nazik Hammad, Medical Oncologist and professor at St. Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto, shared KESHO’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Thank you very much Kenya Society of Haematology & Oncology (KESHO). Kenya holds a very special place in my heart.
My mentor and role model, Professor Nicholas Anthony Othieno-Abinya first brought me to the University of Nairobi and introduced me to Kenya, where I have had the privilege of gaining dear friends, colleagues, and brilliant mentees over the years.
I look forward to joining you in less than two weeks in Mombasa for the KESHO conference, a vital event for oncology in Africa. I am eager to learn from everyone and contribute to several discussions, including:
- Cancer in conflict zones in Africa
- Low-value practices in breast cancer (during the CSO session)
- How to generate and answer research questions arising directly from the best and most privileged place for a physician to be at: the bedside.”
Kenya Society of Haematology & Oncology – KESHO shared:
