Where a child lives too often determines their chance of survival – Childhood Cancer International – Europe
Childhood Cancer International – Europe shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Every year, more than 400,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer. But where a child lives too often determines their chance of survival. While 80% of children in high-income countries survive, the survival rate in low- and middle-income countries is only 30%. And this reality calls for global action.
February 15 marks International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) – a day dedicated to raising awareness about childhood cancer and the challenges faced by children and their families. It is also a powerful reminder that by working together, we can drive awareness, action, and meaningful change in childhood cancer care, so every child with cancer receives the best possible treatment and care, regardless of where they live.
For ICCD2025, we are focusing on Inspiring Action. We want to shine a light on real solutions—initiatives, projects, and activities that have tackled inequalities in communities worldwide.
What solutions have worked for your organization, your town, or your community?
Could these approaches help others facing similar challenges?
Go to ICCD, share your learnings and learn by others.
Let’s build a global library of initiatives.
Let’s inspire and be inspired!”
