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.

THE GLOBAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE APPROVES AND OVERSEES ALL WORLD CHILD CANCER PROJECTS GLOBALLY.

WORLD CHILD CANCERS GLOBAL INCOME IS MADE UP OF A RANGE OF DIFFERENT STREAMS, INCLUDING INSTITUTIONAL, TRUSTS, FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY GIVING.

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.
