Project overview:
World Child Cancer (WCC) focuses on increasing survival rates in developing countries by expanding the workforce of well-trained cancer specialists and increasing awareness around the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer. Through this program, the UBS Optimus Foundation will support WCC to:

- deliver early warning signs training to increase referral rates, thus increasing demand for cancer treatment
