Childhood Cancer International

Childhood Cancer International was founded in 1994 as an umbrella organisation of grassroots and national childhood cancer parent organisations, according to its about page. It describes itself as a global, parent-driven non-profit representing more than 214 member organisations in 100 countries, including parents' and survivors' associations, support groups and cancer societies. Its page notes that survival is 80 per cent in most high-income countries but can be as low as 20 per cent in low- and middle-income countries, and cites WHO's estimate that more than 400,000 children and adolescents under 20 are diagnosed with cancer each year. Its head office is in Amsterdam.
