Zinia Han, Medical Student at Central South University, shared on LinkedIn:
“It was a great privilege to serve as a volunteer coordinator for international guests at the conference.
Spending time with Prof. Katie Wakeham, Prof. Sandra Turner, and Mr. Kristian Luliak, I genuinely felt their deep dedication to oncology and radiotherapy. Beyond the academic discussions, I was deeply touched by the humanistic care advocated by WRAD – putting patients first and focusing on their quality of life. I also witnessed Mr. Luliak’s meticulous and passionate approach to his work.
As a sophomore medical student, what struck me most was their character. They showed me that a great medical professional isn’t just rigorous and passionate, but also incredibly kind and humble.
Prof. Turner shared a piece of advice with me that I will always keep: ‘To find the thing that inspires you.’
I am still young, learning, and exploring this field. I am truly grateful to have met such inspiring mentors.”
World Radiotherapy Awareness Day (WRAD) added:
“Thanks for your support of World Radiotherapy Awareness Day at the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association meeting.”
