We visited the project at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Malawi last month and were really pleased to see that progress continues to be made.
The ward is looking lovely and the children are very well looked after - they have a full-time play lady called Betty who shares the toys amongst the children and helps to entertain them during their long hospital stay.
We also had the pleasure of taking many donated gifts out to the patients on the ward - some fantastic blankets knitted especially for the children along with some new toys for them to play with. Please visit our website and social media sites to see the pictures!
It was great to see how well the team on the ward works to improve the lives of these children, and how they are improving survival rates year-on-year.
Soon the team are planning on implementing a higher intensity protocol to be able to treat more patients with leukemia, with better outcomes. There are also further training sessions planned for the nurses and other staff to continue improving their knowledge and developing their careers.
Next year we are hoping to continue working in Malawi for a new project phase and to support the local team to further develop the services for children with cancer in the country.
THANK YOU to all of our amazing supporters for allowing us to continue helping these children in Malawi!
