Do you know the most common types of cancer in children? These are: - leukemias, - brain tumours, - lymphomas, and - solid tumours such as neuroblastoma and Wilms tumour. While childhood cancer is rare, it can happen. When cancer is found early and treatment begins without delay, a child has a far better chance of surviving and growing up healthy.

Today is International Childhood Cancer Day. Families and health professionals play a key role in spotting the early signs of childhood #cancer, such as: 🔸Severe headaches 🔸Unexplained fever 🔸Unexplained weight loss 🔸Bone and joint pain Learn more about childhood cancers 👉🏿 who.int/news-room/fact…

#DYK leukaemia is the most common childhood cancer? Most childhood #cancers can be cured if detected early. Through the Global Initiative for #ChildhoodCancer, @WHO and partners are working to improve survival rates worldwide, bringing hope and better outcomes for children with cancer. who.int/initiatives/th…

Measles is highly contagious and can lead to severe, long-term complications, especially in children. Complications include: ♦️ brain damage ♦️ severe diarrhoea and dehydration ♦️ deafness ♦️ blindness ♦️ pneumonia 💉 Vaccination is the best way to protect your child.

Today is #WorldCancerDay Cancer is a growing global burden, yet many cancers are preventable. Strengthening prevention policies, promoting early detection, and ensuring timely access to care are essential to saving lives and reducing the impact of cancer worldwide.

Many cancers can be prevented. Simple steps like avoiding tobacco, staying physically active, eating healthy foods, and limiting alcohol can help reduce cancer risk. Small everyday choices can make a big difference for our health. #WorldCancerDay

As a founding member of @WHO, the United States of America has contributed significantly to many of WHO’s greatest achievements, including the eradication of smallpox. WHO has always engaged with the US, and all Member States, with full respect for their sovereignty. Unfortunately, the reasons cited for the US decision to withdraw from WHO are untrue. The notification of withdrawal makes both the US and the world less safe. We hope the US will return to active participation in WHO in the future. Meanwhile, WHO remains steadfastly committed to working with all countries in pursuit of its core mission and constitutional mandate: the highest attainable standard of health as a fundamental right for all people.

"Peace" is the 2025 Oxford Children's Word of the Year, voted by children 6-14 years old. We agree wholeheartedly. We also believe, peace is the best medicine. If there’s one thing our world needs desperately right now, it’s peace.
