MALAWI TREK · 2 October 2015

In low- and middle-income countries fewer than 1 in 10 children with cancer are diagnosed, treated or given pain relief. World Child Cancer improves cancer care for some of the world’s poorest children by creating international twinning partnerships between medics hospitals and parent support groups

Story

Over 200,000 children develop cancer worldwide each year. 80% of those children live in low or middle income countries where less than 5% will survive without World Child Cancer, compared to 80% in high income countries.

Poor diagnosis, along with too few specially trained doctors and nurses and the mistaken belief that childhood cancer is too difficult to cure, combine to create very low survival rates.

 

In fact childhood cancer is curable even in resource-poor countries. It’s possible to save the lives of 50–60% of children with easily treatable malignancies with relatively simple and inexpensive drugs and procedures that have been known to doctors for decades.

 

Please join us make a difference!!! 

Thank you dearly for your support and donation.
