Part 3 - Line 4a
(MEXICO) WORLD CHILD CANCER STRIVES TO IMPROVE CHILDREN WITH CANCERS CHANCES TO SURVIVE AND HAVE A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE. WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HOSPITAL DEL NIO HIDALGO DIF IN PACHUCA, HIDALGO, THE HOSPITAL DE LA NIEZ OAXAQUEA IN OAXACA, THE HOSPITAL REGIONAL RIO BLANCO IN VERACRUZ AND HOSPITALS IN MONTERREY. THIS PROJECT WILL DELIVER DIRECT SUPPORT TO FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER, AND SUPPORT OUR PARTNER HOSPITALS TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND CARE. OUR TEAM WORKING ON THE GROUND IN MEXICO, AND OUR GLOBAL PROJECT COMMITTEE, WHICH OVERSEES MEDICAL PROGRAMS, INCLUDES EXPERIENCED LOCAL PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGISTS AS WELL AS TOP PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGISTS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE.
WCC WORKS CLOSELY WITH YANGON CHILDRENS HOSPITAL (YCH) AND MANDALAY CHILDRENS HOSPITAL (MCH) - THE TWO HOSPITALS IN THE COUNTRY WITH DEDICATED PAEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY UNITS - SINCE 2013 TO BUILD THEIR CAPACITY TO TREAT CHILDHOOD CANCER. WE HAVE A LOCAL PROJECT COORDINATOR IN PLACE AND HAVE A CURRENT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH. CHILDREN WITH CANCER IN MYANMAR ARE SUPPORTED TO REMAIN IN TREATMENT, WHICH IMPROVES THEIR CHANCES OF SURVIVAL. FURTHERMORE, THEY WILL HAVE IMPROVED HEALTH OUTCOMES AS A RESULT OF BETTER NUTRITION. FAMILY MEMBERS WILL ALSO BENEFIT FROM SUPPORT TO COVER HEALTH EXPENDITURE THAT WOULD OTHERWISE THROW THEM INTO FURTHER POVERTY, AND FORCE MANY TO TAKE OUT LOANS THEY COULD NOT REPAY. OUR FOCUS IS TO HELP 800 CHILDREN GET ACCESS AND REMAIN IN TREATMENT THROUGHOUT THE POLITICAL AND HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.
WORLD CHILD CANCER IS A GLOBAL ORGANIZATION, CONSISTING OF OPERATING OFFICES IN THE US, UK, AND THE NETHERLANDS. THE GLOBAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE APPROVES AND OVERSEES ALL WORLD CHILD CANCER PROJECTS GLOBALLY. WE HAVE MORE THAN 100 VOLUNTEERS FROM MEDICS INVOLVED IN OUR TWINNING PROGRAMS TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HELPING AT EVENTS. WORLD CHILD CANCERS GLOBAL INCOME IS MADE UP OF A RANGE OF DIFFERENT STREAMS, INCLUDING INSTITUTIONAL, TRUSTS, FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY GIVING.
ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, AN ESTIMATED 1,390 CHILDREN DEVELOP CANCER EACH YEAR IN CAMEROON. SURVIVAL RATES ARE UNDER 15%. THE KEY REASONS FOR THIS INCLUDE LOW AWARENESS AROUND CHILDHOOD CANCER AND ITS EARLY SIGNS, A LACK OF HIGH-QUALITY TREATMENT AND ACCESS TO IT, AND FAMILIES REJECTING OR ABANDONING TREATMENT AS THEY SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT. IN CAMEROON, GOVERNMENT RESOURCING OF CHILDRENS CANCER SERVICES IS CURRENTLY INADEQUATE, WHICH SHIFTS THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF TREATMENT COSTS TO FAMILIES. BEFORE 2001, CHILDHOOD CANCER TREATMENT SIMPLY WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN CAMEROON. COVID-19 HAS COMPOUNDED THESE ISSUES. FAMILIES, ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH THE CATASTROPHIC HEALTH EXPENDITURE ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR CHILDS ILLNESS, FACE FURTHER LOSS OF JOBS AND INCOME. FEAR OF CATCHING COVID-19 IN HOSPITALS, AS WELL AS DIFFICULTIES IN REACHING TREATMENT CENTERS DUE TO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS HAS LED TO EVEN LATER DIAGNOSIS, WHICH LOWERS CHANCE OF SURVIVAL F
