1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Global Hope Act of 2019 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Cancer is a leading cause of death for children and adolescents around the world, and approximately 300,000 children aged 0 to 19 years old are diagnosed with cancer each year. (2) The most common categories of childhood cancers include leukemia, brain cancer, lymphoma, and solid tumors, such as neuroblastoma and Wilms tumor. (3) Most childhood cancers can be cured with generic medicines and can be cost-effective for all income levels. (4) In the United States, the survival rate for children diagnosed with cancer is over 80 percent. In many developing countries, the mortality rate of children diagnosed with cancer is around 80 percent. In some parts of Africa, the mortality rate reaches 90 percent. (5) In September 2018, the World Health Organization announced a new effort—the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer—with the aim of reaching at least a 60-percent survival rate for children with cancer by 2030, thereby saving an additional 1,000,000 lives. 3. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress as follows: (1) The work of the United States on infectious disease remains the core tenet of United States work on global health. (2) As the United States and international partners continue to succeed in lowering incidences of infectious diseases, global mortality rates of non-communicable diseases will become an increasing burden that must be addressed. (3) The United States should work to support the goals of the World Health Organization Initiative for Childhood Cancer, helping increase survival rates for children with cancer. 4. Statement of policy The United States shall seek to— (1) increase political commitment for childhood cancer diagnosis, treatment, and care globally; (2) support efforts to increase the survival rate of children with cancer globally
