The concern in children’s cancer

No child, no matter where they come from, should be left to die or suffer the consequences of painful diseases. Especially when it’s possible to cure them with the right treatment and medicines. Children face special issues during their cancer treatment, after the completion of treatment, and as cancer survivors. Younger children’s bodies tend to be more sensitive to the side-effects of cancer treatments.

You can cure children’s cancer when it’s’ diagnosed on time and if appropriate therapy and medication are provided. The most common types of cancer diagnosed in children are leukemias, lymphomas, brain tumors, and bone cancers.

Providing chemotherapy medicines for 120 children

Children survive cancer with a rate of more than 85% if provided with high-quality medications. Currently, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a devastating shortage of available resources and medical supplies. Amirkabir center of pediatric oncology in Arak is one of the medical centers that found itself in such a situation. Around 120 children with cancer aged between one month to thirteen years old are hospitalized in this center. To help in dealing with this challenge, we are procuring and sending them the necessary medications for a period of one year.

What we do:

Humane Globe, as a Swiss association, gathers donations from all around the world.
In the next step, it purchases chemotherapy medicines from reputable pharmaceutical whole sellers and companies.
Medicines will be officially shipped through the Swiss customs and air cargo to the destination medical centers.
The parcels will be picked up by the representative of the medical centers to be used for the children with cancer.

First medication parcel

The first medication parcel of the “Humane Globe Association” was shipped in January 2021.
The medications were delivered to the department of Hematology of Amirkabir University hospital, where children were able to receive treatment with these medications.

Dr. Falahati describes the situation

Dr. Falahati, a pediatric surgeon in the “Amirkabir hospital of Arak”, is one of the dedicated physicians that told us about the struggle of “not having any other choices”. Everyday, he must balance the knife’s edge between prescribing the adult version of cancer drugs to the children, and the side effect that such intense treatment can have on the young bodies of the innocent kids. Only because, there are no more medications suitable for cancer children as a result of the economic challenges arising from the pandemic.
