To which Korede Akindele, Chief Operating Officer at The Dorcas Cancer Foundation, added:
“The session will explore the broader health system challenges affecting childhood cancer care across Africa, including delayed diagnosis, fragmented referral pathways, financial barriers, treatment abandonment, and gaps in continuity of care.
Through the lens of patient navigation, we will examine how stronger health systems, coordinated services, effective partnerships, and family-centred approaches can improve access to timely diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support for children and families.
Because improving childhood cancer outcomes requires more than treatment alone. It requires a health system that works for every child.
