As part of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week in New York, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the World Health Organization, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the Zamin Foundation jointly organized an event titled “A Global Movement to Improve Survival and Reduce Suffering for Children with Cancer and Other Catastrophic Diseases”. Ziroat Mirziyoyeva took part in the event.
In her address to the participants of the event, the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the Zamin Foundation stated: “Currently, more than two billion children worldwide are at risk of or suffering from noncommunicable diseases. This is almost one-third of the planet’s population. Millions of them are fighting cancer. Despite the achievements of modern medicine, survival rates remain unequal: in developed countries, they exceed 80%, while in developing countries, they are less than 30%. This gap is unacceptably wide. We must take steps to prevent such a tragedy”.
The event was attended by the First Ladies of Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Angola, Vietnam, Guatemala, and Serbia, the spouse of the Prime Minister of Lebanon, the WHO Director-General, the President of ECOSOC, the President of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, as well as the Ministers of Health of Türkiye, Angola, Armenia, Bangladesh, Mozambique, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Qatar, the Republic of the Congo, Kyrgyzstan, Malta, Mongolia, the UAE, Peru, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu, Chad, and Jamaica; representatives of the leadership of healthcare structures from Hungary, Indonesia, Russia, and Tanzania, along with international organizations, the expert community, the civil sector, and children facing serious illnesses. A touching life story was shared by Samira Idrisova, a young graduate and volunteer of the Mehrli Maktab school.
The participants reaffirmed their commitment to achieving a 60% survival rate for children with cancer by 2030 through the development of equitable, integrated, and locally resourced healthcare systems. They also discussed supporting further progress in the treatment of childhood cancer and the implementation of the global initiative to combat sickle cell anemia.
