Abstract:

This article aims to present the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer and the Practice of Pediatric Oncology Nursing in Latin America and the Caribbean through the technical document “The practice of pediatric oncology nursing in Latin America and the Caribbean” as an integral part of the CureAll Framework: WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer of the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization. Including childhood cancer in the Public Health priority agenda is feasible, effective and sustainable, as it offers an opportunity to catalyze progress in cancer control, to save lives and reduce suffering, and especially, for success in the Noncommunicable Diseases agenda. In addition, investing in children and adolescents, as well as strengthening actions and programs for childhood cancer, are strategic targets for governments with the capacity to save hundreds of thousands of lives each year at a low per capita cost. In addition, to the socioeconomic rationale, cancer in children and adolescents deserves to be highlighted as a matter of equity, human rights and social justice.
