Wafaa Rashed: Recent funding cuts threaten the future of lifesaving treatments
Wafaa Rashed, Chair and Founder of PAPERI, shared a post on LinkedIn:
” ‘Childhood cancer research is in crisis. Recent funding cuts threaten the future of lifesaving treatments, and we must act now.’
Key Message:
- 75,000 children die from cancer each year, 90% in LMICs.
- Only 4% of U.S. federal cancer funding goes to pediatric research.
- WHO’s Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer aims for 60% survival by 2030, but without sustained funding, this goal is at risk.
Our policy brief outlines urgent actions for global policymakers, including a UN-led pediatric cancer research fund.
Call to Action.
‘We need bold action now. Policymakers, researchers, and advocates – let’s work together to ensure no child is left behind in the fight against cancer. Read the policy brief and share your thoughts!’ ”
