Childhood Cancer: Let’s close this equity gap of haves and have nots.
Cancer World Magazine Article
Daniel McKenzie, Director of KidzCan Zimbabwe is interviewed by Cancer World Magazine.10 February 2023.
While we celebrate the fact that survival rates for childhood cancers are now pushing above 85%, in much of the world, this figure remains closer to 25%. In these places, the 85% survival rate is an aspiration, but it is also a measure of deep unfairness that so many children are still suffering and dying of cancers that are treatable. Daniel McKenzie, Director of the Kidzcan foundation in Zimbabwe, describes what lies behind this cruel survival gap, and what can be done to close it.
