Four Pakistani hospitals are finalising preparations to receive free childhood cancer medicines before the end of 2026 under an agreement between Pakistan and the World Health Organization (WHO), said a press release issued here on Thursday.
The initiative, implemented through the Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines, aims to improve access to quality treatment for children affected by cancer in Pakistan, where more than 8,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
Seven additional centres are expected to be ready to receive supplies in 2027, the press release said.
