The initiative
ACT for Children
Actioning change for children with cancer in LMICs – with innovative medicines, expert care, and patient support.
Access Cancer Treatment (ACT) for Children is a multi-stakeholder initiative uniting industry, the medical community, and patient advocates to safely introduce innovative child cancer therapies in LMICs.
ACT for Children uses a hospital-centered, local support model with three pillars:
- access to quality-assured innovative medicines
- expert medical management
- patient-centered supportive care
ACT for Children generates data to inform policy and investment, establishes clinical guidance for the use of innovative medicines in LMIC settings, and builds toward sustainable access.
Our Vision
A world where where children with cancer – no matter where they are born or what their circumstances – have access to quality innovative medicines, expert medical care, and pragmatic support to survive and thrive.
