“Hesham Elghazaly: The Pharaoh of Oncology.
When Professor Hesham ElGhazaly walks through a crowded bazaar, people stop, smile, and admire not for his titles , not for power, but for the man who transforms lives quietly, persistently, and with a smile.
As President of the Egyptian Cancer Society ECS and Breast Gynecological and Immunooncology International Cancer Conference–BGICC, Prof. Elghazaly has changed oncology in Egypt:
- Advanced breast cancer cases: 70% → 20%
- Time to diagnosis: 120+ days → 49 days
- Breast cancer mortality: 15% drop in just 2 years
His secret? Collaboration, persistence, and systems that deliver real outcomes.
From Egypt’s Presidential Initiative for Women’s Health to world-class oncology summits in Cairo, he’s building a blueprint for cancer control that can be replicated across Africa and beyond.
His advice to the next generation:
“Dream big. Persist. Keep smiling.”
