Welcome to the Productive blog by Dr Omolola Salako – a space I’ve created to share a broader perspective on health, life, cancer and the dynamic world we live in. As an oncologist and the founder of Sebeccly Cancer Care NGO, Oncopadi Technologies and Pearl Oncology Specialist Hospital, my days are filled with inspiration, incredible stories of resilience, medical advancements, and the tireless pursuit of innovation. While my work in the clinic is deeply fulfilling, I’ve always felt a desire to connect on a different level – to share insights, lessons learned, and perhaps even demystify aspects of cancer that often feel overwhelming.

I am thrilled to write this blog post on my newly launched personal website, www.dromololasalako.com. First of all, let me be upfront: this is my third personal website, and I intend to maintain it, ensuring the domain and hosting rights are not lost, thanks to a great team supporting me. This blog and website have been a passion project in the making, and I am excited to finally share a dedicated space to showcase my career portfolio, inspire talented professionals and bold leaders, and stay engaged with my community, among other objectives.

The Prodcutive blog, will embark on a journey of reflection, knowledge, growth, and fun. We’ll explore the life lessons, delve into actionable strategies for cancer prevention, and pull back the curtain on the exciting yet challenging path of oncopreneurship – building solutions that transform healthcare. And yes, anything in between that sparks curiosity or offers a valuable insight will also find its home here.

Life Lessons:

• Personal reflections on challenges, resilience, and growth.
• Insights on work-life balance, leadership principles, and finding purpose.
• Stories of inspiration from patient interactions or personal experiences.

Cancer Prevention:

• Evidence-based insights on lifestyle, diet, and early detection strategies.
• Demystifying common cancer myths and promoting informed choices.
• Updates on new research and preventive measures.

Oncopreneurship & Digital Health:

• My Oncopreneur Journey: Building Sebeccly Cancer Care and Support Centre, Oncopadi Technologies and Pearl Oncology Specialist Hospital: challenges, successes, and lessons learned.
• The intersection of technology and cancer care, future trends.
• Insights on innovation, scaling impact, and navigating the health tech landscape in Africa.

Anything in Between:

• Here, I share authentic, spontaneous stories driven by current events, personal interests, book reviews, reflections on new studies, or responses to reader questions. 

Some days, I write long-form posts that delve deeply into a specific topic. On other days, I share quick takes—short and impactful posts that focus on a particular idea or recent news. I enjoy learning from brilliant minds and sharing insights, so you can expect guest contributions from experts in various fields. I will also be answering questions and elaborating on comments. Additionally, my creative side, or let’s just say the child in me, will shine through as I incorporate vibrant colours, relevant images, infographics, and short videos to connect with you.

I hope to create an engaging, informative, and inspiring space that empowers you, my reader and fosters dialogue. I look forward to your encouraging comments, shares, and subscriptions to build a community.

Let’s do this.

Productively yours,
