Russia is one of the leading countries in the survival rate of children with cancer. This was stated on July 21 by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova at the meeting "Homeland is people. Healthy Family" at the National Center "Russia".

"I must say that according to the World Health Organization, Russia is currently among the leaders in the survival rate of children with cancer," Golikova said.

According to her, in 2025, the need for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children was fully met in Russia, and there is no waiting list for such treatment. Medical rehabilitation is being developed to accelerate recovery after difficult treatment.

Thanks to the creation of two world-class children's rehabilitation centers, the number of children who have been rehabilitated has increased 1.3 times in five years, and more than two million children have received such assistance.
