” ‘Children are the future, and when we don’t invest in their future, we are not investing in anything as a nation or as a society. So, irrespective of what you know about cancer, always advocate for equitable care in pediatric cancer…’
Let’s get to know more about our Champion of Childhood Cancer, Adekemi Oyewusi!
Adekemi is a childhood cancer survivor and advocate, whose work in health equity has left a lasting impact at home in Nigeria and around the world. This week she spoke to us about advice for those looking to work in this field and what others can do to raise awareness about pediatric cancer in LMICs.
Watch and share to be inspired today!”
Adekemi Oyewusi, Project Manager at Maisha Meds, shared ACT 4 Children‘s post, adding:
“As we mark two important days in February ‘World Cancer Day and International Childhood Cancer Day’. I am reminded that one of our ultimate goals is to use our platforms to raise awareness about cancer and to advocate for equitable care.
I shared my thoughts in this interview with ACT 4 Children on what we must do differently, the importance of understanding our why, and why collective voices are critical in amplifying the call for equitable cancer care.”
