Dr. Elisabeth MISHIKA | From Survival To Governance
Presented by
SOTE PAMOJA DRC | FCRJ - SOAS University of London
Dr. Elisabeth Mishika, founder of the Fondation Elisabeth Mishika (FEM), presents early detection protocols for breast cancer during a community awareness session organized by her foundation in Goma, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on March 21, 2026. Behind her, a projected slide reads: "Prendre soin de ses seins Agir tôt"Take care of your breasts, act early. Through FEM's dedicated treatment center, Dr. Mishika has provided free care to more than 500 women, creating a sanctuary of healing in a region where conflict and poverty have made access to cancer screening nearly impossible. Globally, breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women, with Sub-Saharan Africa recording some of the highest mortality rates due to late diagnosis and limited healthcare infrastructure.
