The Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer in LMICs – UICC

Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Every year, around 300,000 children are diagnosed with cancer, with 80% of these cases LMICs where survival rates can be alarmingly low.

The Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer, launched by World Health Organization aims to increase survival rates to at least 60% by 2030. This initiative could save 1 million lives.

UICC is proud to be part of this global effort, working with WHO and partners to strengthen cancer care systems, improve diagnosis, and support families.

Learn more this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.“
