Korede Akindele, Chief Operating Officer at The Dorcas Cancer Foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Today marks a significant milestone as Nigeria proudly hosts the official opening of the 16th Biennial International Society of Paediatric Oncology – SIOP Africa Continental Congress 2026.
From Lagos, we welcome the global pediatric oncology community clinicians, researchers, policymakers, advocates, and partners gathered with a shared purpose: to advance childhood cancer care and improve survival outcomes across Africa.
This Congress is more than a meeting. It is a reflection of Africa’s growing leadership in shaping equitable, resilient, and data-driven cancer care systems. It is also a moment to spotlight collaboration, innovation, and the urgency of ensuring that no child is left behind in the fight against cancer.
We are especially honoured to have in attendance distinguished leaders in health, including national and state-level policymakers, alongside global partners committed to strengthening health systems across the continent.
Welcome to Nigeria. Welcome to SIOP Africa 2026.”
