In July, World Child Cancer’s Psychosocial Support Advisor, Megan Cruise, led an impactful training workshop at Dr Sardjito General Hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. 🎓 Nurses, social workers, and family support officers from Dr Sardjito and Dr Hasan Sadikin Central General Hospital in Bandung joined forces to enhance the psychosocial support provided to children with cancer and their families. ✨ Over four days, participants delved into crucial topics like the emotional impact of childhood cancer, effective end-of-life communication, and building resilience. 💪 In collaboration with World Child Cancer, Amgen is helping to drive this important initiative to improve cancer care in Indonesia. 🎗️ #WorldChildCancer #PsychosocialSupport

Every child with cancer, wherever they live in the world, should have equal access to the best possible treatment & care
About us
World Child Cancer’s vision is to see a world where every child with cancer has access to the best possible treatment and care. Our mission is to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment and palliative care for children in low and middle income countries, tackling the global inequality in the treatment of childhood cancer. We do this by establishing twinning partnerships linking hospitals in the developing world with hospitals in the developed world to provide a two-way transfer of expertise and skills to create locally appropriate solutions to the problem of childhood cancer in each country. This expertise and knowledge sharing is generously donated for free by our network of dedicated healthcare professionals.

Luke and his friends Dan and Joe took part in the Run Aintree Half Marathon last month and raised over £2000 for World Child Cancer! “My little sister Katie died in 2009 when she was 5 years old of neuroblastoma. Although Katie passed away, we were very fortunate for the great treatment she received from the NHS. Sadly, this is not the case for most children who are diagnosed with cancer across the developing world which is why the work of this charity is so vital.” - Luke A huge thank you to Luke, Dan and Joe and everyone who donated to the fundraising page: your support brings us one step closer to a world where every child with cancer has equal access to the best possible treatment and care. 🧡 #ClosingTheCancerGap #fundraising #WorldChildCancer

“It helped me learn about the treatment and scans and I am not afraid anymore” Cancer is a confusing and scary experience, even more so for children. Medical language, procedures and technology can cause feelings of anxiety, that’s why it is important to give children facing cancer the information they need, and answer their questions, in a way they can understand. Since 2021, World Child Cancer has been deploying Xploro in hospitals around the world to tackle this very issue. Xploro is an app developed by the father of a cancer patient, used to empower children with information through interactive and exploratory content. Users create their own avatar to help guide them through the hospital, the treatments and diagnostic measures they will undergo and even name the medical team they will meet after their own practitioners. In the first quarter alone, we saw overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, parents and their medical teams. Since then, we have translated and distributed Xploro in Africa, empowering more and more children each year with knowledge, and support to help alleviate their anxiety.

Child Palliative Care can be one of the most difficult challenges to face as a healthcare professional. That is why World Child Cancer, in cooperation with ICPCN, facilitated the training of 30 healthcare professions at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. The training, provided by the sole expert in Child Palliative Care in Ghana, was a resounding success. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication of the health care professionals committed to enhancing the quality of life and dignity for children facing by sharing their skills and knowledge. Together, we make a difference! #ChildPalliativeCare #WorldChildCancer #Ghana

Curing cancer takes a village. World Child Cancer supports cross training for existing healthcare professionals, in both cancer treatment and psychosocial support. Providing paediatric oncology training for nurses ensures that cancer treatment can reach across a country, not just the urban centres. #WorldChildCancer #CloseTheGap #MedicalEquality #NGO #Charity #Bangladesh
