Pan-African PGS Education and Research Initiative (PAPERI) shared on LinkedIn:
“PAPERI Bright Minds Series: Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 2026
Tomorrow from Nigeria.
Can surgery change the future of a child with cancer?
When we think about childhood cancer, we often think of chemotherapy, medicines and clinical care.
But for many children, surgery is also an essential part of the cancer journey.
Tomorrow, the PAPERI Bright Minds Series brings you a special conversation with Dr. Taiye Ibiyeye, Global Child Health, pediatric surgeon from Nigeria and an emerging voice in pediatric surgical oncology.
We will explore questions such as:
- What is the role of surgery in childhood cancer care?
- What challenges face pediatric surgical oncology in Africa?
- How do delayed diagnosis and referral affect children?
- Why is multidisciplinary care so important?
- How can we strengthen training and surgical capacity?
And one question that should concern all of us:
Can every child with cancer access the specialist surgical care they need-regardless of where they live?
The conversation premieres tomorrow.

Stay with us. One more important conversation is coming. African Voices Connecting the World.”
