WHO launches revolutionary program: Helping children worldwide against cancer!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a groundbreaking program to provide life-saving medicines to children with cancer in poorer countries. The first deliveries have already arrived in Mongolia and Uzbekistan, as the WHO announced on Tuesday. It is planned that a total of around 5,000 children with cancer in countries such as Ecuador, Jordan, Nepal and Zambia will benefit from the complete and free medication supply this year. These drugs are quality tested and are expected to significantly improve survival rates.

A step in the right direction

With this project, the WHO is pursuing an ambitious goal: to increase the survival rate of children with cancer in low- and middle-income countries, which is currently often below 30 percent. For comparison: in wealthy countries the survival rate is around 80 percent. In order to improve the dramatic situation, the WHO plans to expand the program to 50 countries after a successful pilot phase and to provide a total of 120,000 children with necessary medication. This project should be implemented within five to seven years Yahoo News reported.

Every year around 400,000 children worldwide develop cancer, a shocking 70 percent of whom die in poorer countries. The main causes are the lack of appropriate treatments, high costs and the availability of poor quality medicines. This new initiative could make a crucial difference for many affected families. The cost-free provision of medicines creates a ray of hope for the weaker societies who urgently need support to ensure the survival of their children in the fight against cancer, such as crown highlights.
