Such important work, relating to global oncology as well. LMIC actors need to assert ourselves on the global stage for the patients we serve.

"The book asks readers to confront uncomfortable truths & consider their role in addressing them."

I'm pedantic and noticed I used "empirical" 42 times in a book chapter. What's the difference between "empiric" and "empirical"? Empirical describes knowledge/evidence based on systematic observation/ experiment. Empiric describes practice/action based on experience/observation.

@realMaalouf I’ve been to Egypt 3 times and did not see this. Lots of “unveiled” Egyptian women in Cairo, lots of strong, assertive women.
