The World Ovarian Cancer Coalition (Coalition) has announced the organisation’s first global Ambassadors to help close gaps in ovarian cancer outcomes.
Among the global ambassadors is the first lady of Kebbi State, Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu. This is contained in a statement by the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition signed by the director of marketing and communications, Phaedra Charlton.
According to the statement, the global ambassadors will support the coalition in its efforts to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, tackle low health literacy, and empower women across the world to take action to improve equitable access to high-quality, affordable care for ovarian cancer. The coalition noted that if the status quo is maintained, by 2040 an estimated 4million women will be lost to ovarian cancer. The majority of women, about 70 percent, with the disease live in low- and middle-income countries where access to basic medical care is severely limited by the lack of effective infrastructure, limited resources, geographic and cultural barriers.
“The need to make ovarian cancer a global priority is as urgent as ever. The gap between those who can access the best possible care and those who cannot is continuing to grow and will result in the tragic loss of millions more lives if we don’t take action now,” said Clara MacKay, CEO of the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
