Initiative gives hope to children with cancer

Field projects aim to improve diagnosis and survival of childhood cancers

Global Health TV meets Fatkine, a four-year old Senegalese girl fighting cancer. Although 80% of childhood cancers are curable for children in wealthy countries, the outlook for children like Fatkine, in low-and-middle-income countries, is bleaker. My Child Matters sponsors projects in Senegal and other developing nations, to bring healthcare agencies together in the fight against childhood cancer. Global Health TV reports on the progress being made in Senegal and finds out how much more there is to do to improve the chances of Fatkine and millions of children like her.
