Hesham Elghazaly: The Pharaoh of Oncology
When Professor Hesham Elghazaly walks through a crowded bazaar, people stop, smile, and admire not for his titles , not for power, but for the man who transforms lives quietly, persistently, and with a smile 😊.
As President of the Egyptian Cancer Society 🇪🇬 and BGICC, Prof. Elghazaly has changed oncology in Egypt:
* Advanced breast cancer cases: 70% → 20% 🎯
* Time to diagnosis: 120+ days → 49 days ⏱️
* Breast cancer mortality: 15% drop in just 2 years 📉
His secret? Collaboration, persistence, and systems, that deliver real outcomes .
From Egypt’s Presidential Initiative for Women’s Health to world-class oncology summits in Cairo, he’s building a blueprint for cancer control that can be replicated across Africa and beyond.
✨ His advice to the next generation:
“Dream big. Persist. Keep smiling.”
