Today is International Childhood Cancer Day, a global moment to recognize the unique challenges faced by children with cancer, their families, and care teams. Every year, hundreds of thousands of young patients are diagnosed with cancer, and outcomes depend heavily on access to early diagnosis, timely treatment, and comprehensive care.
While survival rates have improved in well-resourced settings, many children in low- and middle-income regions still struggle to access lifesaving services due to limited resources, delayed diagnosis, and gaps in specialist care.
On this day, we honor the courage of children and families navigating cancer journeys, and we reaffirm our commitment to equitable care. ScoreDoc supports families by highlighting trusted pediatric care experiences, so decisions are grounded in real insight.
