Childhood cancer inequalities in the WHO European Region 2022 report

Overview

For the first time, a report sets out the evidence on childhood cancer inequalities in the 53 countries of the WHO European Region. The report seeks to reduce these inequalities while recognizing the different contexts in countries.

It is hoped that the evidence and recommendations will support decision-makers and advocates in all countries to help ensure improved access to equal and quality cancer control for all children.

Funding for the preparation, development and printing of the report was kindly provided by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, serving as WHO Collaborating Centre for Childhood Cancer, in Memphis (TN), United States of America.
