We’re so proud of Aida and excited to see her apply these learnings to improve care for children with cancer in Malawi and beyond 💛

Read her reflections here: bit.ly/4olns98

Aida returned home inspired, with several key insights:
✨ Collaborate with the right partners
✨ Practise cultural humility and listen to families
✨ Centre children’s voices in every intervention
✨ Document psychosocial work to strengthen impact

Aida shared her psychosocial approach to palliative care at QECH in Malawi, contributing to an important global conversation.

She also connected with professionals from around the world, learning from their approaches to child life and palliative care

🌟 Celebrating the incredible work of Aida Nkhoma, our Child Life Specialist in Malawi!

Aida was awarded a Boas Travel Bursary to attend and present at the 4th ICPCN Conference in Manila - a fantastic recognition of her dedication to children and families.

The Forum also highlighted the importance of public–private partnerships to expand diagnostic capacity nationwide — a vital step toward earlier detection and better outcomes.

A key theme was the need for one national cancer registry, strengthened by digital tools to improve data quality and support better research and planning.

The Ministry of Health Ghana renewed its commitment to a 5-Year National Cancer Roadmap and expanded financial support for diagnosis and treatment.

At the National Cancer Forum this week, our Ghana team joined partners determined to improve cancer care for children and families. The sense of shared purpose in the room was powerful. 🇬🇭
