A lovely day of creativity in Myanmar! 💙🎨
To mark #WorldMentalHealthDay, five children receiving cancer treatment joined storytelling, music therapy and craft activities at Goethe-Institut Myanmar
A wonderful chance to get creative, connect with others and simply have fun! 💛
Sometimes, the smallest gestures carry the most important reminders. 💙
At the end of her training workshops, our Psychosocial Support Advisor, Megan Cruise, gives nurses small hearts to keep in their uniforms, reminding them that their own wellbeing matters too.
Following World Mental Health Day, we’re celebrating You’re Not Alone. 💛
The podcast was created around a simple belief: the people caring for children with cancer deserve space to talk openly about their own emotional wellbeing.
We’re so grateful to our host Juliet Akuamoah Boateng, our guests, SIOP for collaborating with us, and Amgen, whose commitment to the emotional wellbeing of paediatric oncology professionals makes this series possible.

This #WorldSightDay, we’re sharing Zaakirah’s story of sight, survival and self-expression. 🧡
A photograph helped reveal the white glow that led to her retinoblastoma diagnosis. Years later, photography became a way to understand her story and find her voice.

Want a glimpse into what #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth looked like across our programme countries? 💛
This September, our teams have been helping protect what already belongs to every child, their relationships, education, confidence, ambitionsand chance to grow up.
In Ghana, the team visited schools to build awareness around childhood cancer and early diagnosis. In Cameroon, an awareness march in Bamenda brought the wider community together, while in Myanmar, panel discussions brought together health professionals, survivors and caregivers.
We’re incredibly proud of our teams, whose work to #ProtectChildhood continues long after September ends.

Araba was a teenager in Ghana with plans for her future, including a dream of becoming a model. 💛
Dr Hamza Yusuf cared for her during treatment for osteosarcoma and remembers clearly how cancer affected her confidence.
Sadly, Araba later died after her cancer spread.
But as her illness progressed, palliative care helped her reconnect with things that still brought comfort and meaning, including music and prayer.
Even when cure is no longer possible, who a child is still matters.
This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, we’re highlighting how palliative care can help protect the parts of childhood cancer can interrupt.
With @ICPCN, we’re helping strengthen this care in Ghana and beyond.
