🎗️ Why Equity Matters in Childhood Cancer Survivorship 🎗️

Childhood cancer is a fight no family chooses, but the reality is that not every family faces this journey on an equal playing field. Equity in childhood cancer survivorship is about ensuring that every child, no matter their background, location, or socioeconomic status, has equal access to:

• Quality care during treatment.

• Resources and support after treatment ends, for the rest of their lives.

🔑 Survivorship is More Than Beating Cancer
Survivorship isn’t just about beating cancer—it’s about thriving. Unfortunately, many children, adolescents and young adults face disparities that make thriving an uphill battle. These disparities include:

• Limited access to healthcare resources.

• Financial barriers that restrict access to support and care.

• Inadequate or disjointed long-term follow-up care that leaves survivors vulnerable.

💡 Prioritizing Equity Can Make a Difference
By focusing on equity in childhood cancer survivorship, we can ensure:
✅ Early detection and timely treatment for all children, adolescents and young adults, ,regardless of where they live or their economic background.
✅ Access to critical resources like counseling, education support, and rehabilitation to help survivors thrive.
✅ A push to address systemic barriers that disproportionately impact marginalized communities and limit their ability to access the care they need.

🌟 A Brighter Future for All Children, adolescents and young adults,
Every child deserves the chance to live a full, healthy life after cancer, but equity is key to making that happen. Let’s work together to:

• Close the gaps in healthcare access and care resources.

• Ensure that every survivor has a fair chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances.

Together, we can make equity in survivorship a reality for every child.
