22 Countries, 2,446 Stories

In this groundbreaking episode of Changing the Ovarian Cancer Story titled "22 Countries, 2,446 Stories”, we explore the realities faced by women with ovarian cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Featuring insights from Frances Reid, Study Lead of the landmark Every Woman Study™: LMIC Edition, Sonia Muliyil, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health, and Dr. Aisha Mustapha, obstetrician, consultant and clinical lead in Nigeria, we uncover the challenges, disparities, and financial impacts women face worldwide. Discover how high-quality data from 2,446 women across 22 LMICs is driving policy change, improving awareness, and inspiring hope. This episode also highlights the Nigeria Pilot project, a direct outcome of the study, showing how research can lead to real-world action and better ovarian cancer care. Join us to hear the voices of women who are changing the ovarian cancer story - and learn how awareness, advocacy, and evidence are shaping a brighter future.
