Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu: Breastfeeding Offers Critical Protection Against Breast and Ovarian Cancers

Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, UICC President-Elect of 2024-2026 and a Founder of the Medicaid Cancer Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Breastfeeding empowers women far beyond nourishing their babies. It offers critical protection against breast and ovarian cancers, especially when sustained over time, making it a natural, accessible form of prevention.

I stand as a proud African Breast Cancer Council and Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) member, with global partners, to mark this World Breastfeeding Week.

Special kudos to the Kebbi state governor, H.E. Dr Nasir Idris for being the latest Nigerian governor to extend maternity leave from 3 to 6 months!”

Video attached to the post.
