If your child develops cancer and you live in a wealthy country there\\u2019s a really good chance they will survive - more than 80%. If you live elsewhere, the chances are much lower - less than 30%.

Over a decade ago, Dr Mae Dolendo set up a centre in the Philippines to treat children with cancer. Since then she\\u2019s saved the lives of hundreds of children who\\u2019ve received treatment for free. Now others are replicating her trailblazing hospital.

We head to the Philippines to meet Dr Dolendo and see how she\\u2019s linking up with St Jude\\u2019s paediatric cancer team in the US \\u2014 one of the best of its kind in the world. Doctors from the team provide expertise remotely, enabling Dr Dolendo to save lives for a fraction of what it would normally cost.
