What if where you live determined whether your child survived cancer – World Child Cancer USA
World Child Cancer USA shared a post on LinkedIn:
“What if where you live determined whether your child survived cancer?
‘There are 400K children estimated to be diagnosed with cancer in the world each year. Of those children, 20% have the fortune in their misfortune of being diagnosed in a high-income country and therefore have available to them the most cutting-edge medicine. 80% of those 400K children are diagnosed in low- and middle-income countries and do not have available to them these cutting-edge medicines.’
Dr. John van Doorninck, pediatric oncologist and Chair of the World Child Cancer Global Program Committee, sits down with Mark Levine of Help and Hope Happen Here to discuss why survival rates vary so greatly across countries, what solutions are already in motion, and how we can raise survival to 60% by 2030.
Don’t miss this conversation.”
