Why Patient Navigation Matters in Childhood Cancer Care Across Africa?- The Dorcas Cancer Foundation

The Dorcas Cancer Foundation shared on LinkedIn:

“Oluwakemi Atolagbe, Oncology Patient Navigator at The Dorcas Cancer Foundation (TDCF), will be speaking at our session during London Global Cancer Week 2026.

Working directly with children and families affected by cancer, Oluwakemi brings a frontline perspective on the realities of navigating cancer care in Nigeria, from coordinating appointments and referrals to helping families overcome barriers that can delay or interrupt treatment.

At London Global Cancer Week 2026, she will speak on:
‘Patient Navigation: Is It Even a Real Job?’

Through her presentation, Oluwakemi will explore what oncology patient navigators actually do, the challenges they encounter, and why recognising and strengthening this role is essential to improving childhood cancer care across Africa.

Behind every successful referral, completed appointment, and child who remains in treatment, there is often someone helping to connect the pieces.

Time: 3rd November 2026
2:00–4:00 PM GMT
Register.

Join us for this important conversation on the people, systems, and support needed to ensure that no child is left behind in the cancer care journey.”
