This development highlights the growing role of health system reform in shaping development priorities and public policy. Over this period, more than $2.5 million has been mobilized through partnerships and programs supporting cancer awareness, screening initiatives, and patient assistance across Nigeria. The broader objective remains the development of a healthcare system where access to timely diagnosis and treatment does not depend on geography or income level. We have to look inwards for finance, encourage local manufacturing, and educate our children better.”Other articles featuring Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu on OncoDaily.
