Launch of the WHO Report “Measuring Survival, Driving Change   Advancing equity through the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer”

The World Health Organization is launching a landmark Childhood Cancer Deep Dive report, featuring, the first WHO country-comparable survival estimates for children and adolescents worldwide.  

These estimates were developed through a global consultation process with Member States which took place on the second half of 2025 via WHO’s Country Portal Platform.

 The report not only sets a baseline to track progress but also highlights how countries are advancing the CureAll framework to strengthen health systems, expand access to care, and improve data for decision-making. 

Join us to explore how these insights are driving action toward the global goal of 60% survival and better outcomes for every child with cancer.
