Childhood Cancer International (CCI) was founded in 1994 as an umbrella organisation for grassroots and national parent groups. Today, CCI is the largest patient support organisation for childhood cancer, representing over 214 member organisations across 100 countries and 6 regions. Its members include parent and survivor associations, childhood cancer support groups, and cancer societies.
CCI envisions a world where the challenges faced by children with cancer, survivors, and their families are fully understood and recognised by key stakeholders, political leaders, healthcare professionals, development practitioners, and the wider community. As the globally recognised voice of people with lived experience (PWLE), CCI collaborates with diverse stakeholders to ensure access to affordable, essential childhood cancer medicines and high-quality care worldwide.
