International Childhood Cancer Day : Understanding the Global Fight Against Childhood Cancer
Every year on February 15th, the world observes International Childhood Cancer Day to raise awareness about pediatric cancer and support young patients and their families. Every 2 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer somewhere in the world. While survival rates exceed 80% in high-income countries, they drop to just 20% in low- and middle-income nations. This day shines a spotlight on the courage of young patients, the dedication of their families, and the urgent need for better treatments and equitable access to care. Discover how you can make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.
