The World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer sets the goal of increasing the survival rate of children with cancer globally to at least 60% by 2030 while reducing their suffering and improving their quality of life. In achieving this goal, one strategic solution is by identifying childhood cancer care and support gaps across the globe, and employing success stories to address these gaps.

With early detection, accurate diagnosis and integrated care, childhood cancer is treatable. This Conference will feature discussions on how the childhood cancer community in Asia can come together and move forward in closing equity gaps. Other dialogues will zoom in on family relationships in caring for a child with cancer, palliative care and survivor journey.
