Caroline Chukwu, Founder of Acetrea, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“At the heart of every patient’s journey is a NURSE!
From early detection to treatment, emotional support to advocacy, nurses remain the constant presence, ensuring that care is not only delivered, but truly experienced.
At the International Society of Paediatric Oncology – SIOP Africa Congress 2026, this reality is even more evident.
As we gather to advance childhood cancer care across Africa, one truth stands clear: nurses are at the center of care.
We are not just caregivers, we are educators, coordinators, advocates, and leaders shaping outcomes for children and their families every single day.
This moment is a reminder that strengthening pediatric oncology in Africa must include investing in nursing capacity, leadership, and visibility. Because when nurses are empowered, care is transformed.”
