Yin Ling Woo, Professor at the University of Malaya and Founding Trustee of ROSE Foundation, shared by ROSE Foundation on LinkedIn:
“Deeply humbling to hear His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah recognise Program ROSE in his opening address at the National Cancer Congress Malaysia 2026 as an example of Malaysian innovation in cancer prevention.
For all of us who have walked this journey together, it means so much.
Program ROSE is about what we can achieve when researchers, clinicians, communities, policymakers, funders and women themselves come together with one shared purpose-
to ensure no woman dies from cervical cancer.
Grateful for the recognition and for the journey ahead.”
Quoting ROSE Foundation:
“We are deeply honoured that His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah highlighted ROSE Foundation in his speech at the National Cancer Congress Malaysia (NCCM) today, describing ROSE as a homegrown programme led by our Founding Trustee, Professor Yin Ling Woo of University of Malaya – a Malaysian programme for Malaysians.
His Royal Highness’s call for cancer screening to reach every Malaysian is a powerful reminder of what must remain at the heart of our work: no woman should be left behind simply because of where she lives, her circumstances, or her ability to access healthcare.
We are grateful for this recognition and, more importantly, for the opportunity to contribute to a national conversation on making cancer prevention and early detection more equitable.
Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for championing the importance of reaching every Malaysian.”
