James Kon Twenty-seven children battling cancer recently left heartfelt and positive messages on a Tree of Life to commemorate this year’s International Childhood Cancer Day. The children under Children’s Cancer Foundation (YASKA) jotted down their messages on handprint-shaped papers and placed them on a decorated tree in line with this year’s International Childhood Cancer Day theme – ‘Better Survival is achievable #throughourhands’. The global campaign aims to raise awareness that childhood cancer is curable. Each country creates a Tree of Life that carries messages from cancer patients and survivors to portray their hopes for survival through 10 key elements: responsive government policy; timely and accurate diagnosis; effective treatment; multidisciplinary team; palliative and supportive care; quality workforce; available and affordable essential medicines; cancer registry; and rehabilitation and reintegration programmes.
