In the three quarters of 2021, Zaporuka Foundation provided comprehensive assistance to 393 children from all over Ukraine for a total amount of 3,323,650.55 UAH. This amount includes medication, medical examinations, PCR tests for coronavirus detection before hospitalization, MIBG tests for children with neuroblastoma, limb prostheses, and many other ways to help families with childhood cancer.
53 children received 546 rehabilitation sessions after surgery. Sessions with rehabilitation specialists help to restore mobility after the disease. The Foundation’s psychological service provided more than 1,800 consultations for children and parents.
For the development of the bone marrow transplant department in the Western Ukrainian Specialized Children’s Medical Center in Lviv, we spent almost 6 million UAH. Reconstruction of the department, training for doctors by the best colleagues in Okhmatdyt and in Italy, as well as necessary modern equipment – soon the department will greet the first patients.
The Dacha Center for Children Affected by Cancer hosted 113 children and 162 parents who came to the National Cancer Institute from the regions for treatment. We spent more than 5 million UAH on the construction and repairs of the new Center, which will start hosting children next year.
We are grateful to all those who participate in the systematic support of children with cancer and together with us contribute to decent treatment and recovery.
Let’s win over childhood cancer together!
