Thank you so much for your kind support of World Child Cancer’s project in the Philippines, where we are working to improve the diagnosis, access to treatment and quality of care for children with cancer on the island of Mindanao.
Ten-year-old Maria was treated for leukaemia at a hospital in Tagum, a shared care centre in the Mindanao Paediatric Cancer Care Network. Whilst most of Maria’s drugs were covered by insurance, the additional transport costs were not. Having treatment closer to home helped keep Maria in treatment until its completion, giving her the best possible chance of survival.
With your support more children, like Maria, can receive a quick diagnosis and have access to the best possible treatment and care.
World Child Cancer will be continuing the programme, spreading the awareness of childhood cancer and aiming to ensure every child receives an accurate diagnosis and the best possible care.
Thank you for helping to give children with cancer the gift of growing up!
Kind regards
Anna Tullgren
