September in Gold: a month dedicated to the fight against childhood cancers

The month of September, known as 'September in Gold', is dedicated to raising awareness about pediatric cancers, the leading cause of disease-related deaths in children. In Côte d'Ivoire, there are 1,019 children diagnosed with cancer and 586 deaths, according to GLOBOCAN data. Early detection of symptoms such as persistent fatigue and unexplained weight loss is crucial for directing children to appropriate treatment.
