Breaking Barriers WHO Launches Platform for Free Child Cancer Medicines

The World Health Organization (WHO) has taken a significant step forward in improving childhood cancer outcomes by launching a new platform providing cost-free cancer medicines to thousands of children living in low- and middle-income countries. This innovative initiative aims to bridge the gap in access to life-saving treatments, ultimately leading to improved survival rates.

Access to Life-Saving Medicines A Game-Changer
The WHO's new platform offers a vital lifeline for children with cancer, providing access to high-quality medicines at no cost. This critical step forward is expected to improve outcomes for thousands of young patients, many of whom would otherwise face significant barriers in accessing appropriate treatment.

Global Reach and Initial Impact
The pilot phase of the project has already seen shipments delivered to Mongolia and Uzbekistan, with further deliveries planned for Ecuador, Jordan, Nepal, and Zambia. This initial rollout is expected to benefit around 5,000 children with cancer across at least 30 hospitals in these six countries.

Sustainability A Long-Term Commitment
Beyond the pilot phase, the platform aims to provide an uninterrupted supply of quality-assured childhood cancer medicines at no cost. The WHO and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are working together to ensure the long-term sustainability of this initiative, with a goal to reach 50 countries within the next five to seven years.

A Stark Reality The Need for Action
Cancer affects an estimated 400,000 children worldwide every year, with most cases occurring in resource-limited settings. Sadly, it is estimated that 70 percent of these children die from cancer due to factors such as lack of appropriate treatment, treatment disruptions, or low-quality medicines.

A New Era A Step Forward for Childhood Cancer
The launch of this platform marks a significant milestone in the global fight against childhood cancer. As WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus notes, For too long, children with cancer have lacked access to life-saving medicines. This initiative has the potential to transform countless lives and families around the world.
