Abstract

The WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer launched in 2018 will translate into an additional one million lives saved or a survival rate of at least 60% for children with cancer to be attained by 2030. This new target represents a doubling of the global cure rate for children with cancer. African children with cancer will be amongst the global group which will benefit from an improved cancer care and better outcome.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interestsThe author declare that they have no competing interests.<br /> (© The Author(s). 2019.)
