The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a program to provide thousands of cancer children with medication. The first deliveries were sent to Mongolia and Uzbekistan, the organization said Tuesday.
Further deliveries are initially planned for Ecuador, Jordan, Nepal and Sambia. About 5,000 children with cancer must benefit from the program this year. You receive costs and complete child cancer medication that quality has been tested.
The aim is to increase the survival percentage of children with cancer in countries with low and medium -sized incomes. According to WHO, this is sometimes less than 30 percent, but the survival percentage in countries with a high incoming is around 80 percent.
After a pilot phase, a total of 50 other countries and 120,000 children must be supplied with necessary medication. The time frame for this is five to seven years.
About 400,000 children develop cancer every year. Especially in poorer countries, 70 percent of the affected die, which, among other things, because sufficient treatment is lacking in medication or because the treatment for cost reasons is interrupted.
