What is International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD)?

International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD), observed every year on 15 February, is a global initiative to raise awareness of childhood cancer and the challenges faced by children and their families. At World Child Cancer, we mark this day as part of our year-round mission to improve the lives of children with cancer.

This year, our campaign highlights the power of education to transform futures—empowering children, survivors, and healthcare professionals around the world.
