Eveline Tata Mayaah, Steering Committee Member at Voices of Impact for Cancer Equity (VOICE), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Joining UICC‘s Patient Group Mentorship Programme (PGMP) has truly transformed our work at Humanity at Heart International in Cameroon!
In such a short period of time, this program has given us the tools to dream bigger and achieve more.
First, Humanity at Heart is now a member organisation of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) thanks to PGMP’..
Then, we have had opportunity to learn from Peers through the funded peer visit to Baheya Foundation which gave us the exact blueprint we needed to strengthen our community based Patient Navigation program, ensuring no cancer patient has to walk their journey alone.
Thanks to PGMP’ s support, we were able to mobilize and bring together over 65 multisectoral key stakeholders (doctors, CHW, HCP, policymakers, and community leaders) to endorse and push for patient navigation to become an official, integrated part of standard cancer care in Cameroon during the WCD 2026.
We now connect with amazing organizations across the continent to share learnings and activity progress within our organisations through the PGMP monthly regional meetings.
And finally we were privileged to share lessons learned from peer visit during a joint virtual event with UICC PGMP and ACS BEACON Initiative- yet another incredible learning platform…
I have so much more to say but permit me for now to just say: I am so incredibly proud to be a part of UICC PGMP. Thank you to everyone at UICC for walking this path with us.”
