Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu: I go the extra mile to seek formidable partners to address the inequities in cancer and healthcare
Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu shared a post by BIO Ventures for Global Health on LinkedIn, adding:
“We often say cancer doesn’t discriminate. It fears no sex, age or location. Thus, our responses should be equally fearless. I go the extra mile to seek formidable partners to address the inequities in cancer and healthcare.
Through our 17 years existence, we have partnered with many organizations across the world to achieve this. The ones that stand out are those who are physically present on ground, offering their time, resources, and pushing for change, RELENTLESSLY! BIO Ventures for Global Health is one of these.
Under the leadership of Jennifer Dent, the ultimate global citizen, we have implemented many programs such as training for oncology nurses, co creating educational materials, and increasing access to oncology medicines.
Thank you team BVGH, I look forward to many more opportunities we can continue to work together on.”
