Dear Friend,
Thanks to your generous donations we continue our efforts to improve situation with pediatric oncology in Ukraine.
Since our last report there were a lot of news we would like to share with you. The most important one is that National Specialised Pediatric Hospital has launched an unrelated bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Many people have been working for several years to make such treatment possible in Ukraine. The second and the third transplantation took place in August 2020.
We celebrate the victory, but the fight continues. The number of unrelated bone marrow transplantation is still not sufficient for all children who need it. And even those cases were not fully covered by governmental program. Thanks to the donors like you Tabletochki foundantion provided necessary medicines needed for recovery after transplantation.
Unfortunately, there are also anxious news. Centralized public procurement of medicines for year 2020 was failed. The shortage with medicine became a burden on families and foundations. The number of medicines requests from pediatric oncology units to the Foundation increased and we expect that it will last for at least nearest half a year while the gap in governmental supply exists. There was no any supply under governmental program till the end of 2020. In an optimistic scenario first deliveries are expected in January-February 2021. That is why your support is needed more than ever.
Despite the scale of problem any of your gifts is really matter. Just look at the pictures attached to this report. We would like to share with you the most emotional moments: 8-years Darina is leaving the hospital after successful BMP from unrelated donor. Together with her doctor she is ringing a winner's bell. And that this you who made it possible. It’s your victory too.
Thank you.
Tabletochki team.
