even taking precedence over economics as a key driver of government and individual’s activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has struck most countries with devastating effect and has led to cancer specialists and facilities being repurposed to contain the new threat. It remains to be seen what long-term impact this will have on cancer care in low- to middle-incomes countries, but even in the short-term much damage has been done already. n Cancer Control 2020, we start to understand what has countries and languages to liberate

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

  • LGCW Event Summary Report
    LGCW Event Summary Report Policy Event The first of the two London Global Cancer Week events was focused on the review and development of policy around prevention and treatment of the disease. The Rt Hon. Patricia Scotland opened the meeting then handed the reigns to Dr Osahon Enabulule, president of the Commonwealth Medical Association, who acted as chair. The event attracted eminent people such as HRH Princess Dina Mired of Jordan whose powerful keynote speech focused on how cervical cancer elimination in the Commonwealth could pave the way for more efficient health systems, and solutions to the challenges posed by other cancers and non-communicable diseases. She also highlighted the opportunities to strengthen implementation of Universal Health Coverage. In her presentation, Dr Miriam Mutebi, chair of the board for the Union of International Cancer Control (UICC), focused on the implementation of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) global strategy and the life course approach for cervical cancer elimination. Dr Freddy Bray, head of Cancer Surveillance Section at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), gave an overview of cancer prevalence and trends in the Commonwealth, and discussed the importance of predominant cancer surveillance mechanisms in Africa. Mark Lodge, Convenor of London Global Cancer Week (LGCW) and director of International Network for Cancer Treatment and Research, provided the audience with the vision and holistic overview of LGCW 2020. Rwandan minister of health, Hon. Daniel Ngamije, Guyanese minister of health Hon Dr Anthony Frank and Zambia’s permanent secretary, Dr Kennedy Malama outlined their countries’ efforts toward cervical cancer elimination and the management and control of other types of cancers.

  • The Case for Collective Commonwealth Action on Cervical Cancer
    GLOBAL CANCER INITIATIVES The case for collective Commonwealth action on cervical cancer Professor Isaac F Adewole (left), Gynaecologic Oncology Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria and Dr Ophira Ginsburg (right), High-Risk Cancer Genetics Program, Perlmutter Cancer Center, School for Global Health, Department of Population health, New York School of Medicine, New York, USA Cervical cancer remains a public health challenge, particularly in the low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) of the Commonwealth due to inequity, injustice and ignorance. The stark reality is that the global call by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the elimination of cervical cancer is only feasible in a few Commonwealth member countries. However, robust collective action that is driven by the highest political leadership could create a pathway for countries with a high burden of cervical cancer and weak health infrastructure to meet the 2030 targets of the cervical cancer elimination agenda. Thus, there is the need for genuine partnerships in research, and policies that will fit the local needs of individual countries. Indeed, single dose HPV vaccination with a “screen and treat” approach for those with premalignant cervical diseases may be a good alternative strategy to the conventional protocol in most Commonwealth countries. It is important that member countries should support each other to generate local evidence, health workforce development, infrastructure and healthcare financing for cervical cancer prevention and treatment. This will ensure that no one is left behind. The time for action is now. Cervical cancer as a public health concern Effective cervical cancer strategy prevention and Cervical cancer, the second most common cancer among control is available women after breast cancer globally, has been described as Generally, persistence of high-risk human papillomavirus a disease that manifests inequity, injustice, and ignorance (HPV) infection is a necessary cause of cervical cancer, (1).

  • Literature and Medicine: an Appraisal of Latunde Odeku's Twilight: out Of
    Literature and Medicine: an Appraisal of Latunde Odeku’s Twilight: Out of the Night. Emmanuel Babatunde Omobowale Department of English, University of Ibadan Abstract In this paper, I examine Twilight: Out of the Night , an anthology of poetry, written by Latunde Odeku, Africa’s first Professor of Neurosurgery, who unknown to many people was also a poet. In the collection, Odeku looks at life from a myriad of perspectives, which graphically show his artistic versatility and creative ingenuity. Acting as Conscience of Society, Odeku uses the poems to highlight the multifarious socio- political problems, which have been the bane of Nigeria’s development since she became an independent country in 1960. The poems also establish a point of convergence between two seemingly disparate disciplines, literature and medicine, as they vividly show the poet’s dependence on medicine for poetic inspiration. Latunde Odeku: A Brief Biographical Account In his foreword to Adeloye Adelola's An African Neurosurgeon , a biography of Professor Latunde Odeku, Oritsejolomi Thomas, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, writes: Professor Latunde Odeku during his relatively short life managed to achieve something of worth in many areas. He belonged to that chosen group of neurologists and neurosurgeons, who perhaps observing the unfathomable wisdom of the Divine Creator through the complexity of the human brain, inevitably arrived at the conclusion that there was more to life than the mere temporal and spiritual. This process of thought, I am 2 Deep South ’08 sure, it was, that made him take naturally to philosophy and the writing of poetry. (ix) Latunde Odeku was born on 29th June, 1927, at Awe, in South Western Nigeria.

  • Evaluating Sub-Saharan Africa's COVID-19 Research
    Evaluating Sub-Saharan Africa’s COVID-19 Research Contribution: A Preliminary bibliometric Analysis *Asubiaro, Toluwase Victor a, b; Hafsah Shaik c a Library and Information Program Faculty of Information and Media Studies University of Western Ontario, N6A 5B9, Ontario, Canada b E. Latunde Odeku Medical Library College of Medicine University of Ibadan Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria [email protected] +15198527083 c Independent Researcher Greytown, South Africa [email protected] Abstract: The response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the science community is unprecedented as indicated by the high number of research publications. Deeper insight into COVID-19 research at regional, and national levels through bibliometric research has revealed different levels of research evolution, depth, contribution, and collaboration patterns. Such reliable and evidence- based information is important for health research planning and policy making. This study aims at providing some evidence-based insight into Sub-Saharan Africa’s preliminary COVID-19 research by evaluating its research contributions, patterns of collaboration, and funding sources. COVID-19 publication data from all the 41 Sub-Saharan African countries was collected from Scopus for analysis. Results show that Sub-Saharan Africa contributed about two percent to global COVID-19 research. South Africa contributed 50.95% of all the COVID-19 publications from Sub-Saharan Africa while USA (28.48%) and the UK (24.47%), the top two external contributors, collaborated with Sub-Saharan African countries three times more than other countries. Collaborative papers between Sub-Saharan African countries - without contributions from outside the region- made up less than five percent of the sample, whereas over 50% of the papers were written in collaboration with researchers from outside the region.
