ACT 4 Children shared a post on LinkedIn:
“What does ‘standard of car’ really mean in childhood cancer?
It means evidence-based treatment, essential medicines, trained healthcare teams, and supportive care, all working together to give children the best chance of survival.
In countries where this standard is available, over 80% of children with cancer survive.
In many parts of the world, survival drops below 30%. Not because cures don’t exist, but because access does not.
This is not a medical problem. It’s a systems problem.
Standard of care should be a right, not a privilege.
