My Child Matters Nursing Awards were first launched in 2015 as part of the My Child Matters (MCM) Programme to fight against children’s cancer and reduce inequalities in health, access to care and disease outcome in low- and middle-income countries.

From 2015-2020,153 nursing project applications were received, and the majority (62%) were from lower-middle-income countries. The My Child Matters Nursing awards have supported nursing projects in 22 countries in 2 WHO regions. Overall, the My Child Matters Programme supported over 116 projects with a total funding of EUR 7’798’699 and trained 41’348 healthcare professionals. To date, it has supported more than 140’752 children and their families globally.

My Child Matters Programme overall is the cornerstone initiative of Foundation S – The Sanofi Collective.

It will be further expanded to support the World Health Organization’s (WHO) objective of achieving at least 60% survival for all children with cancer by 2030.
