Cancer Walk in Rwanda – A Powerful Initiative Helping Health Screening

Lacy Hubbard, President and CEO of Elekta Foundation, recognized among the 100 Most Influential CEOs in Oncology in 2025, shared on LinkedIn:

“Going back to Rwanda is always exciting. There is always something happening that reminds me why I love working here.

This morning, I joined the Cancer Walk in Kigali, organized by Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) and Rotary Virunga.

What I love about this walk is that it doesn’t end when the walking stops. After the walk, health screening is offered to the community, reaching over 600 people. It’s a simple but powerful way to turn awareness into action.

This time, I also had the pleasure of having Dr. Gevorg Tamamyan with us. He is in Rwanda to see firsthand the country’s journey toward eliminating cervical cancer. Today gave him a chance to experience something broader: how Rwanda brings communities together around cancer awareness.

A beautiful morning of walking, connecting, and taking action together.”
