Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu: ASCO24 has been such a wonderful experience
Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu shared on X:
“ASCO24 has been such a wonderful experience. The research presentations, patient stories, and array of professionals are truly inspiring. With each step, I am reminded of the wide gaps in cancer control between the global north and south.
I look forward to a time we can provide the infrastructure, organization, resources and content to host such gatherings at the same scale in Africa.”
