Carmen Uscatu, Founding Member, President at Give Life NGO, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“‘Why should a child from Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary or Albania have a smaller chance of survival than a child from the Netherlands, Germany or Sweden? It is unacceptable.’
This is how it started. A three-year collaboration between Prinses Máxima Centrum voor kinderoncologie and Marie Curie Children’s Hospital with the support of Dăruiește Viață.
Collaboration means: access for children to molecular diagnostics, the best treatment possible in Romania under the supervision of The Máxima experts, treatment abroad when it cannot be done here, in collaboration with our clinicians, access to clinical trials and research.
All of this will transform Marie Curie into a comprehensive childhood cancer center.
What does that mean? That a child in Romania will have the same chance of survival as a child born in the Netherlands.
If you want to find out more, watch or read the interview made by Alina Mihai from G4Media.ro. She spent one hour with one of the best researchers in childhood leukemia in the world, president of International Society of Paediatric Oncology – SIOP, Chief of Máxima International, and behind all these pompous titles, someone who genuinely cares about children with cancer.
Not only in his country. Worldwide.”
