Every now and again a story comes along that just makes me smile. Sometimes it is a new scientific breakthrough that will save lives, or patient advocates succeeding in pushing for change. This story featured a new initiative led by St. Jude Children’s Hospital in the U.S. and the World Health Organisation to distribute childhood cancer drugs to the world and definitely made me smile. With thanks to Dr. Downing, Dr. Alcasabas and Dr. Ilbawi for the fantastic interviews. I could have written 5 stories with everything they told me. Such an exciting initiative that will undoubtedly save lives.
