HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!
Today, we take some time today to celebrate the women in paediatric oncology and all their contributions to childhood cancer patients and their families! Did you know that 60% of SIOP members globally are women?
In honor of this day, the SIOP Women Leaders Network is pleased to launch the 2024 Almanac of Women Leaders, which profiles prominent women leaders in paediatric oncology from around the world.
The first inspirational woman who is featured in the Almanac is Dr. Odile Schweisguth (1903-2002). She is widely celebrated for her pioneering work in paediatric oncology and for her instrumental role in establishing this branch of medicine as a recognized discipline in its own right and being a co-founder of SIOP. Read her Almanac profile here: https://siop-online.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/WLPO_Almanac-2024-1.pdf . More 2024 Almanac profiles will be released in the coming weeks.
