of all childhood cancers worldwide remain undiagnosed. This issue is even more pronounced in low-income countries where access to medical care and resources is limited and often costly for families.
in the Philippines receive the heartbreaking news that their child has been diagnosed with cancer. This brings a profound wave of emotions and challenges as they navigate the difficult journey ahead.
Around 400,000 children will receive a diagnosis of cancer around the world every year. While access to treatment and resources can make a difference, receiving a cancer diagnosis is incredibly distressing for any family no matter where they live. In developing countries, where resources and treatments may be scarce or incredibly expensive for the average family, the outcome of a child’s battle with cancer can differ significantly compared to those with more accessible resources.
Families living in the Philippines often live on less than $10 a day and reside in rural communities where medical care and resources are limited and access to cancer treatments is unavailable. To access adequate medical care, families must travel between 4 to 12 hours by bus or boat.
The lack of resources within their community and the high costs associated with traveling are a significant barrier that prevents many families from seeking treatment for their child – leading to many going undiagnosed and without the vital help they need.
