Several paediatric oncology units have links with partner units in low to middle income countries which have been present for many years.
During LGCW 2025 we will hear from specialist nurses with a depth of experience working with nurses in LMIC. They will present their past and current work in terms of teaching, training, supporting and inspiring nurses in Africa and Pakistan.
