Add Your Voice #WhoIsAtTheTable
This September, our team of childhood cancer survivors from across India will request the Health Minister to make Childhood Cancer a Child and Health Priority. We want a National Childhood Cancer plan and policy. India does not have one – yet more than 25% of the world’s childhood cancer is in India. In the War we all must fight against Cancer – at 90% survivals – childhood cancer is the low hanging fruit!
We are collecting 3 lakh pledges to make a strong case. We have the WHO, Treating Hospitals and leading Doctors, State Governments, Parents, Patients and survivors as well as other stakeholders of the childhood cancer community in India and International, already at the table.
