Fighting cancer requires the help of children and their families often qualified health workers.
Every year, about four million children suffer from cancer and most of them live in short-lived countries.
In these countries, drugs are not available or available for the treatment of cancer disease. Because of this, the death rate has reached 70 percent. In high-age countries, it is possible to protect eight out of every 10 children from this disease.
Dr. Andre Ibavi, head of the UN Health Organization’s Cancer Control Program, has said that this gap will help to meet this gap through this new platform.
In this order, the World Health Organization and Children’s Healthcare will work with St. Jude’s Research Hospital in the United States, where the requirements are at a huge level to access 50 countries.
For the access to childhood cancer drugs, the initiative, known as the Global Platform, has been targeted to provide drugs for the treatment of one lakh 20,000 children with cancer in the next five to seven years, even if they live somewhere, or they have the ability to spend.
Financial support
St. Jads Research Hospital has invested 20 million for this platform, which is the biggest financial determination for treatment for children worldwide.
In this initiative, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Health Organization (PAHO) will take experience in the US Region (PHO), which takes charge of the purchase and distribution of this national drug.
This is not a program established with the intention of platforms, donations, but it will be taken forward with the government, the drug construction sector, the private company and the hospital and other local stakeholders.
Currently, the initiative has been launched in Uzbekistan and Mongolia, but soon it is planned to launch it in Jordan, Nepal, Zambia and Ecuador. In the next few days, Pakistan, Ghana, Senegal, Sri Lanka and other countries can also join it.
