Joining me today is Dr. Massa Jabra, a doctor in Syria.
Dr. Massa was appointed Childhood Cancer Advocate for SIOP this year.
SIOP is the International Society of Paediatric Oncology where her role is to spread awareness of childhood cancer and SIOP's work to the paediatric oncology community.
Massa is also involved with BASMA (which means smile in Arabic), a Syrian organisation for children with cancer. She volunteers for psychosocial support for children. She believes that psychosocial support is as necessasry as medical treatment.
We talk about what led her to become an oncologist, the challenges of care in a conflict zone, public awareness of signs and symptoms and how when survival is your top priority, healthcare becomes more challenging.
Dr. Massa's work is so necessary and exceptional and we thank her for joining us.
