Every three seconds, a child is diagnosed with cancer worldwide. Sultan Stambekov, Head of the Department of Children's Oncology and Oncohaematology at the National Centre for Maternal and Child Health, made this statement during a roundtable discussion on children's oncology. The event was organised by the National Centre for Maternal and Child Health, the 'I Believe in Miracle' Charitable Foundation, and the Society of Children's Oncologists and Oncohematologists in the Kyrgyz Republic.

The round table was scheduled to coincide with International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD), celebrated annually on February 15. Leading experts discussed the current challenges and prospects for paediatric oncology in Kyrgyzstan. They emphasised the importance of early diagnosis, support for children and their families, and the improvement of treatment methods.

Key topics discussed included the development of national oncology services, the establishment of high-quality medical centers, improving access to treatment, and the need for increased funding in this area. Special attention was given to Kyrgyzstan's participation in the WHO Global Childhood Cancer Initiative, a crucial advancement that enhances young patients' survival and life quality.

After the meeting, participants emphasised the need for enhanced collaboration among the medical community, government agencies, and public organisations to achieve meaningful advancements in pediatric oncology. The organisers expressed their gratitude to all roundtable participants for their valuable insights, shared experiences, and commitment to making childhood cancer treatment more accessible and effective.
