Join us to hear about “Advocacy for Improved National Cancer Policies and Research”.

I looking forward to discussing my experience as a contributor to our National plans in Nigeria, Kebbi State Cancer Control plans, the cancer health fund and Chair of Union for International Cancer Control (UICC)’s KAP committee.
