A conversation with the voices of Hope this Childhood   Cancer Awareness Month!  Gold September is an annual campaign worldwide to raise awareness of   childhood cancer. There are many advances in paediatric oncology, yet cancer   remains a leading cause of mortality in children. It is imperative that   children are diagnosed early for effective treatment of early-stage disease,   which will translate into favourable outcomes and improved overall survival.   Many factors are responsible for delays in childhood cancer, including the   child’s age, family’s socioeconomic status, parental educational level,   distance of residence from the hospital, cancer type, site, and stage. Date: Thursday 30 September 2021 Time: 14h45 for 15h00 - 16h30 Platform: Zoom Cost: FREE Hosted by well-known news anchor,   Peter Ndoro with special guests: Professor Gita Naidu - Professor & Head - Paediatric   Oncology of Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital Chief Chauke - Chairperson of the Traditional Health Practitioners in Gauteng Marcelo Palmeiro -  Executive: Corporate & Brands   Development for Clover Thembalami Ndlovu - Mother of a child with cancer Matthew Reid - Childhood cancer survivor Hedley Lewis - CEO of CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA
