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% are 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 these medicines available to them.’
Dr. John van Doorninck, pediatric oncologist and Chair of the World Child Cancer Global Program Committee, sat down with Mark Levine, host of Help and Hope Happen Here, earlier this year 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.
Tune in here.”
