Childhood cancer

Zambia is highly challenged by low survival rate of childhood cancer which is currently at 10%. As affected parents and families, we saw the need for us to get involved in disseminating information on childhood cancer through sharing our own experiences. We have embarked on a country wide awareness campaign on the early warning signs and symptoms of cancer and also dispelling the myths surrounded by childhood cancer through focus group discussions meetings and involvement of traditional leaders the first one being Mbala in the Northern Province of Zambia.
