Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu: I am truly grateful to receive the 2024 Dicey Scroggins Distinguished Advocate Award

Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu shared on LinkedIn:

“I am truly grateful to receive the 2024 Dicey Scroggins Distinguished Advocate Award during the IGCS2024 meeting in Dublin.

This award is an inspiration to myself, my immediate team and so many others, who work tirelessly to raise awareness, improve access to care, and offer hope to women affected by these diseases, particularly in underserved communities.

As we look ahead, let us continue advocating for equitable healthcare and supporting those facing gynecologic cancers. Our voice is our greatest weapon.

‘It can be difficult to speak the truth to power. Circumstances, however, have made doing so, extremely necessary’ – Aberjani, American Poet

Thank you International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) for this distinguished honor.”
