Pediatric/Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders in India
Pediatric cancers and blood disorders affect children from infancy to adolescence, with leukaemia, lymphomas, thalassaemia, haemophilia, aplastic anaemia and sickle cell disease being among the most common in India. Each year over 75,000 children are diagnosed, yet survival remains 30–50% due to unequal access to clinical research, trials and standardised evidenced-based treatment protocol. INPHOG uniting pediatric cancer and hematology centres nationwide to conduct collaborative research and develop evidence-based treatment protocols. Our mission is to ensure every child, no matter where they are born, gets an equal chance to live.
