International Childhood Cancer Day 2022

The Childhood Cancer International (CCI) and the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) published a joint toolkit for the 2022 International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD). It outlines a plan for action in year two of ICCDs three-year campaign.

International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) is a global collaborative campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer and its unique challenges, while showing support for children and adolescents with cancer, survivors and their families worldwide. The 15th of February is marked as ICCD to highlight the importance of community participation and support in the fight against childhood cancer in every country around the world. The three-year campaign for ICCD (2021-2023) is designed to use the universal image of colourfully painted handprints of children to represent survival rates for children with cancer on a national, regional and international scale. 

The 2022 ICCD theme is: #throughyourhands

The focus is on paying tribute to the health care team and the positive impact they have on the lives of children and adolescents with cancer.
