Institute do Cancer Infantil makes available resources for reforming the Conceicao Children's Hospital from funds raised in McDia Feliz 2017 campaign
The Children's Cancer institute has a special reason to participate in McDIA Feliz 2017 campaign.Part of the funding this year will be assigned to the Hospital da Crianca Conceicao for the humanization and setting of the pedriatic oncology ward. For 22 years ICI has participated of the campaign organized by Ronald McDonalds Institute, which mobilizes all of Brazil, benefiting thousands of children and adolescents suffering with cancer.
Conceicao Hospital is the most important pedriatic hospital in Rio Grande Do Sul, attending free of charge to the most needed population of our state, sustained by the Central Government of Brazil. The hospital provides 219 beds attending children from age 0 to 14 years old.the Onco-Hematology Service of the hospital is a reference in the care of children and adolescents with cancer and blood diseases such as Leukemia and Sickle Cell Anemia. The objective of this ward is to improve comfort conditions which at the moment are rather precarious, needing badly of a new look with good refurbishing, such as replacing the floors and renovating the furniture. This improvement is due to start in 2018.
Since 2014, the Conceicao Hospital Group and the Institute do Cancer Infantil have made a partnership that aims to qualify the care provided to the patients assisted by the Onco-Hematology service of the hospital. The initiative provides a daily follow up by volunteers with hospital patients, as well as pedagogical and social support psychological and dental support, plus nutrition assistance services.
