International Childhood Cancer Day - February 15
Wed Feb 15th

International Childhood Cancer Day

International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) is an international youth cancer day (ICCD) every year on February 15th, the International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) aims to raise concerns of childhood cancer. The day also promotes care for children with cancer's families.

300,000 children between the ages of 0 to 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Every three minutes, a child dies of cancer. The following are some of the most common childhood cancers:

  • Leukemia
  • Brain cancer
  • Lymphoma
  • tumors such as neuroblastoma

Early detection and appropriate medical care, according to healthcare professionals, can help prevent cancer deaths. More than 80% of children with cancer in high-income countries are cured. The opposite is true in low and middle-income countries. About 20% of children with cancer in these countries have found a cure, but only about 20% of children with cancer in these countries have found a cure.

Finding a cure

More work remains to be done to help children in these low- and middle-income countries fight cancer. Any child with cancer deserves the highest quality of care, regardless of their ethnicity, race, or socioeconomic status.

WHO has established a Global Initiative on Childhood Cancer to help more children avoid childhood cancer. By 2030, the initiative aims to have a 60 percent survival rate for children with cancer. Doing this will save one million lives. To achieve this target, every nation must provide quality care for children with cancer. Both at the national and international levels, there must also be a greater emphasis on childhood cancer at the national and international levels. WHO aims to save all children with cancer through advocacy, leveraged funding, and oversight.
