The work to reduce disparities in the care and survival of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases takes a committed and collaborative approach, one that depends on stakeholders across a range of specialties and focus areas around the globe. St. Jude Global convenes this community that includes clinicians, research institutions, foundations and non-governmental organizations, ministries of health, professional societies, civic leaders and many others for collaborations that build local capacity, share knowledge and implement sustainable solutions.
By aligning expertise, resources and leadership across sectors, these stakeholders help expand access to quality care, improve health systems and accelerate progress toward better outcomes for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases, everywhere in the world.
How to engage
St. Jude Global Alliance
The St. Jude Global Alliance connects and empowers institutions and foundations that have a shared vision to improve access to quality care and increase survival rates for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases worldwide. Made up of more than 400 institutions from more than 80 countries, the Global Alliance takes a multilevel approach to developing global, national, regional and hospital-based initiatives centered on its members across eight regions and a growing number of transversal programs.
In its role as the first and only World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Childhood Cancer, St. Jude supported the launch of the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer (GICC). The initiative’s goal is to achieve at least a 60% global survival rate for children with cancer by 2030 while reducing suffering and improving quality of life. GICC is a collaborative effort that depends on expertise and strategic inputs from stakeholders around the globe at the local, national and regional level.
Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines
The Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines aims to provide an uninterrupted supply of quality-assured cancer medicines to low- and middle-income countries. St. Jude launched the Global Platform in partnership with WHO and in coordination with UNICEF and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). This effort depends on the collaboration of hospitals, governments, the pharmaceutical industry, and other stakeholders who are all engaged in the unified goal of providing quality medicines to the children who need them.
Stakeholder Engagement webinars are dynamic, recurring forums where ministries, NGOs, clinicians and global partners come together to showcase progress, tackle challenges and exchange innovative solutions – featuring country spotlights, real-world implementation insights and actionable tools to drive impact.
