Dear followers.
With your support and kind contributions we have been able to help hundreds of children diagnosed with cancer in Malawi.
Some of the team’s highlights over the last month include:
- An oncology nurse from Birmingham who was able to travel to Malawi and provide training to local nurses
- Chiku (a cancer survivor) who has started his own support group, aimed at raising awareness of cancer in his local area.
- The financial support which is now provided to children who need to travel for regular follow up treatment and procedures
- The amazing palliative care team who are accessing even more remote areas in Malawi, increasing the number of children who are reached
- Local medical students who continue to receive training on the paediatric oncology ward
With your continued support the team in Malawi, led by Prof Liz Molyneux, can help many more children who still do not receive the treatment they need to survive.
Priorities over the next few months include:
- Raising the capital to build an outpatient facility at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital
- Continued training for local nurses
- Support for patients through drug supplementation, welcome packs and follow-up
- Continued healthcare and community awareness campaigns
We thank you for all your generous contributions and kindly ask that continue to show us your support.Without this support many children suffering from cancer in Malawi would not stand a chance.
Best wishes,
World Child Cancer
