A significant step forward for children with cancer worldwide

A significant step forward for children with cancer worldwide.

We welcome the adoption of the Final Political Declaration on NCDs and Mental Health by the UN General Assembly — a landmark moment for global childhood cancer advocacy.

Importantly, the declaration reaffirms the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer (GICC) target: achieving at least 60% childhood cancer survival globally by 2030. This inclusion reflects the strength of sustained, collective advocacy led by families, civil society, clinicians, and partners around the world.

While this is a moment to acknowledge progress, it is also a call to action. Turning commitments into impact now depends on governments translating these pledges into concrete policies and investment. Together, we will continue working to ensure no child is left behind.

 Together we can save more children’s lives!
