Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu: Over 70% of Cancer Cases in LMICs are Diagnosed at Advanced Stages

Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, UICC President-Elect of 2024-2026 and a Founder of the Medicaid Cancer Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“In Low-Mid-Income countries, over 70% of cancer cases are diagnosed at advanced stages.

Beyond the clinical diagnosis lies a complex journey, marked by emotional, social, and financial challenges that significantly influence patient outcomes.

As an advocate and Chair of Network of People Impacted by Cancer in Nigeria (NePICiN), I am committed to advancing initiatives that place patients and caregivers at the centre of policy and programme development, ensuring their voices shape decisions that impact their lives.”
