About The Event
International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) is a global collaborative campaign, marked on February 15th, to raise awareness about childhood cancer, and to express support for children and adolescents with cancer, the survivors and their families. The day promotes increased appreciation and deeper understanding of issues and challenges relevant to childhood cancer and impacting on children/adolescents with cancer, the survivors, their families and the society as a whole. It also spotlights the need for more equitable and better access to treatment and care for all children with cancer, everywhere.
This annual event was created by Childhood Cancer International , a network of 177 grassroots and national networks of parent organizations in 90 countries, spanning 5 continents.
International Childhood Cancer Day is based on Childhood Cancer International’s (CCI) core belief that every child with cancer deserves the best possible medical and psychosocial care, regardless of country of origin, race, financial status or social class. It is also anchored on the premise that childhood cancer deaths are avoidable, with timely and accurate diagnosis , availability and access to proper treatment and care as well as affordable, good quality essential medicines.
