“Our session is dedicated to unveiling the patients' narrative, using the patients' narrative to illuminate the challenges and the opportunities to improving access along the care continuum, from prevention to palliation and in between including diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Women face challenges that are specific to being women at every juncture in the care journey.” Dr. Felicia Marie Knaul

“When I say education, I don't mean the woman that is living in a village; I mean everybody—the healthcare workers, the nurses in the hospital, the legislators, and the policymakers—so that they can understand what we're dealing with, how serious the cancer burden in low middle-income countries is, and then of course how we can advocate for better funding, better policies, and more infrastructure that will reduce the burden.” H.E. Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu
