Childhood Cancer Care Plan

Supportive Care and Guidelines

The Childhood Cancer Care Plan: A Roadmap for Ontario 2024-2029 is POGO’s sixth long-range plan as advisor to the Ontario government on childhood cancer care. It sets out a path for the next five years to leverage collaboration and coordination across the province to ensure wrap-around care and support for children, youth, survivors and families at every step of the childhood cancer journey.

Led by POGO, the development of this Plan was informed by diverse voices from across Ontario’s childhood cancer care system. These valuable perspectives led to the creation of five goals:

1. Quality care in the most appropriate settings.
2. Equitable access to psychosocial care.
3. Optimal well-being of childhood cancer survivors.
4. Timely and equitable access to evolving diagnostics and therapeutics.
5. Data-driven planning and quality improvement.

Working to achieve the best childhood cancer care system is a shared responsibility. Together with our partners in care, we will build on our collective success to achieve the ambitious goals of the 2024-2029 Childhood Cancer Care Plan.
