“Exciting to share that our fight against retinoblastoma work at Ruharo Mission Hospital has been part of the impactful stories featured by CancerWorld and further highlighted by OncoDaily.
Through the project titled Strengthening Retinoblastoma Care in Uganda: Advancing Early Diagnosis, Treatment Management, and Adherence for Children, generously supported by Foundation S under the My Child Matters program, Ruharo Mission Hospital continues to advance national pediatric oncology outcomes.
We remain deeply grateful to Foundation S and the MyChildMatters initiative for their trust, partnership, and commitment to transforming pediatric cancer care in Uganda.
I invite you to read this special issue, reflect on what sustained commitment can achieve, and be inspired by what happens when children really matter: Click here.”
Quoting CancerWorld‘s post:
“Twenty Years of Making Children Matter
Twenty years ago, My Child Matters, an initiative of Foundation S, was launched with a simple but powerful belief: a child’s chance of surviving cancer should not depend on where they are born.
Today, that belief has translated into action for more than 280,000 children in low- and middle-income countries—through earlier diagnosis, stronger health systems, reduced treatment abandonment, better supportive and palliative care, training, registries, telemedicine, and psychosocial support. Always grounded in real-life needs. Always close to children and families.
This special issue of CancerWorld is dedicated entirely to that impact. It shares stories from Colombia, Paraguay, Bolivia, Tanzania, Ukraine, Sub-Saharan Africa, and beyond, alongside initiatives such as the My Child Matters Nursing Awards, Programa TELEO, CheckUpAYA, and the Home Away from Home program developed with Childhood Cancer International – Europe.
We invite you to read this special issue, reflect on what sustained commitment can achieve, and be inspired by what happens when children truly matter.”
