Miriam Mutebi, Breast Surgical Oncologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Aga Khan University Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Allow me to share a proud supervisor moment.
At the recently concluded Surgical Society of Kenya meeting, Dr. Emmanuel Lomole was awarded the ‘Most Influential Policy Award’ for his dissertation on the facilitators and barriers to guideline-concordant breast cancer surgery in Kenya. What makes this work matter is not just the analysis but the intent to move beyond description and into change.
Because women don’t experience guidelines…they experience systems.
If we are truly serious about improving outcomes in women’s cancers, we have to confront those systems and intimately understand what enables good care, what blocks it, and what must change.
The opportunity now is to carry this evidence where it belongs: into policy, into pathways, and into the everyday decisions that shape patient care. This is exactly the kind of leadership we are building through the surgical training programme at AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY where we are training not just clinicians, but thinkers and leaders who will shape the systems of tomorrow.
PS: Dr. Emmanuel is the gentleman standing second from the right.”
