A leading advocate for cervical cancer control, with over 180 articles in peer-reviewed journals and books on gynaecological oncology and women’s health. He is the current chair of the sub-Saharan African Cervical Cancer Working Group and member, Governing Council of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, London, UK and the Ethics Board of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Awarded 2013 Distinguished Service Award for Excellence in Research of the Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Nigeria. WHAT SKILLS AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE CAN YOU BRING TO THE UICC BOARD OF DIRECTORS? As the current Vice-Chancellor of Nigerian’s premier University, the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and immediate past President of African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), I have the platform to leverage national and continental support for Cancer Control. I have served as the Chair of the Cervical Cancer Control Working Group that produced the county’s Cervical cancer Control Plan I Nigeria. I have considerable experience and linkage in Nigeria and Africa to continue with my on-going of promoting cancer control in Africa. I am also on the ethics committee of the International Agency for Control of Cancer (IARC) and serving as the Chair of the sub-Saharan African Cervical Cancer Working Group. As president of AORTIC I midwifed the production of AORTIC African Cancer control Plan. WHICH OF UICC’S PRIORITY AREAS CAN YOU BE INVOLVED IN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I have been involved essentially in four of UICC priority areas.These are GAPRI where I worked on improving access to pain medicines in Nigeria and Africa ,Cervical Cancer Initiative where I play a leading role in Africa, Global Education and Training Initiative as well as Global Initiative for Cancer Registries. I am well placed as a continental leader and fund raiser to make a difference during my tenure on the Board and beyond. Notes: 5 SAMIA AL-AMOUDI CEO Sheikh Mohammed H. Al Amoudi Center of Excellence in Breast Cancer Saudi Arabia Member, UICC Board of Directors 2012-2014 BIOGRAPHY Dr. Samia Al-Amoudi is founder and CEO of the Sheikh Mohammed H.

Dr. Al-Amoudi was diagnosed with breast cancer and in March 2007, the U.S Department of State awarded her the first International Women of Courage Award to recognise her personal battle to raise awareness across the Kingdom and the region. WHAT SKILLS AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE CAN YOU BRING TO THE UICC BOARD OF DIRECTORS? I believe I could continue supporting UICC efforts towards the global health commitment through my personal and professional experiences. Being a breast cancer survivor, a physician and an advocate from a region where breast cancer is a burden gives me an understanding of the culture and the psychosocial barriers people encounter when fighting cancer in a region where challenges are numerous. I believe in UICC approach: Together we are stronger. I have worked with the US-Middle East Partnership Program and with the Breast Health Global Initiative. I am an activist who advocates throughout the Middle East for a better tomorrow for my daughter and every daughter in the world. WHICH OF UICC’S PRIORITY AREAS CAN YOU BE INVOLVED IN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I think I could make a difference working in UICC advocacy for early detection and screening for breast cancer and to empower women in the region in their health rights particularly breast cancer patients’ rights. Through my work in the media as a writer in the local newspaper and my TV program I could help in advocating for UICC objectives in uniting global efforts and improving women’s health and quality of life. I will also continue my commitment with World Cancer Day to increase awareness and mark the day. Notes: 6 BENJAMIN ANDERSON Director, Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center United States Member, UICC Board of Directors 2012-2014 BIOGRAPHY Benjamin O. Anderson, MD is Professor of Surgery and Global Health-Medicine at the University of Washington, Joint Member in Public Health Sciences at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and Director of the Breast Health Clinic at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) in Seattle, Washington. Dr Anderson trained in surgical oncology as an American Cancer Society Clinical Oncology Fellow at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He founded and now serves as Chair and Director of the Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI), which addresses breast healthcare guideline development and implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). WHAT SKILLS AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE CAN YOU BRING TO THE UICC BOARD OF DIRECTORS? As a UICC Board member since 2012, I have been honored to link UICC with successful external international efforts in global cancer control. Resource adaptation is critical for improving cancer early detection, diagnosis and treatment in LMICs. My experience through the Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) in developing resource-stratified guidelines has provided a framework for collaboration in designing and studying realistic cancer care delivery systems for LMICs. My roles as Chair of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) International Program Committee and member of the International Cancer Control Partnership (ICCP) provide opportunities for developing synergies within the international community of organisations engaged in cancer control planning. In July 2014, I served as a civil society representative for the high-level meeting of the UN General Assembly on the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This is an opportune time to address global cancer control with UICC at the helm. WHICH OF UICC’S PRIORITY AREAS CAN YOU BE INVOLVED IN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I respectfully request your support to continue on the UICC Board of Directors and serve as UICC Membership Committee Chair. Our Membership team has worked diligently in member recruitment and engagement. We organised the 2013 Membership Survey to gain insights about member expectations. We developed outreach materials to attract universities and research institutions into the UICC family. Our outreach campaign links UICC members to core activities like the UICC Congress and World Cancer Day and to stimulate new collaborations among UICC members and partners. In July 2014, UICC membership peaked at 828 members, representing a 7.8% growth over 2 years. Notes: 7 AMEERA A.

Ameera has been instrumental in growing the FOCP staff and ensuring employee self-development. Her daily tasks include interacting with volunteers and patients on a one-to-one basis and involvement in cancer awareness campaigns. WHAT SKILLS AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE CAN YOU BRING TO THE UICC BOARD OF DIRECTORS? : Since founding FOCP, I have pushed the strategy, agenda and objectives of the society to concentrate on making cancer a well known topic in the UAE community. I would like to have the opportunity to replicate my efforts at the global level by being part of the Board of Directors of UICC. My skills of engaging relevant and instrumental stakeholders and developing awareness campaigns have resulted in changing the perception of cancer. Cancer is now on the national agenda. I would like to have the chance to further these skills at international level and support UICC advocacy efforts. My business and leadership experience have transformed Friend of Cancer Patients to create a more sustainable revenue stream. I would be honour to further this experience and lay the foundations to take UICC forward and achieve its ambitious objectives. WHICH OF UICC’S PRIORITY AREAS CAN YOU BE INVOLVED IN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I have been active over the past 15 years in supporting a series of local and global causes for cancer patients within the UAE.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • LONG-ACTING REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTIVE (LARC) METHODS (Iuds and Contraceptive Implants)
    MANUAL FOR TRAINING DOCTORS AND NURSE/MIDWIVES ON LONG-ACTING REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTIVE (LARC) METHODS (IUDs and Contraceptive Implants) ·Trainer's Manual 2015 FOREWORD The unacceptably poor maternal and child health indices in Nigeria have been of much concern to various governments at all levels in the country. In efforts to address these unfavorable indices, Family Planning which is one of the pillars of safe motherhood is being vigorously implemented through series of interventions. Notable amongst these, is the introduction of Task Shifting policy for Community Health Extension Workers, CHEWS to provide Injectables with mentoring for ensuring wider coverage of FP services in the country. The success being achieved led stakeholders to seek for Federal Government's approval for the provision of Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive Methods (IUDs and contraceptive Implants) which was approved by the National Council on Health in 2014. To this end the Federal Ministry of Health, Marie Stopes International Organisation Nigeria (MSION), Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and other partners met and developed a draft Training Manual, Participant Reference Book and Supervisory Checklist for impacting knowledge and skills on CHEWS to provide quality family planning services to clients who need IUDs and implant contraceptives. This intervention is expected to reduce the high unmet need for services and accelerate achievement of the target Family Planning Blueprint of 36 percent Contraceptive Prevalence Rate by the year 2018. The Federal Ministry of Health recognizes and appreciates all the development partners, especially Marie Stopes Nigeria, for their efforts in making all these interventions realizable and assures partners of government supports for further efforts at improving the health and well-being of our women and children in the country.
