In partnership with organizations like World Child Cancer, our Treatment Services Program works towards increasing access to treatment and care for patients worldwide.
In countries like the U.S., the survival rate for kids with cancer is around 80%. However, in developing countries such as the Philippines and Ghana, survival rates are as low as 10%. This program focuses on bridging this gap. Started in August 2021 after an enlightening trip to Colombia, South America to deliver hospital equipment, CKF launched this program in hopes of serving patients facing inadequate resources.
Background
About This Program
Through our partnerships and the funds we raise, Cancer Kids First is able to provide patients in low-income countries with services that elevate the chances of them beating cancer. Donations through this program allow us to deliver resource kits to hospitals, provide convenient transportation that enable earlier diagnoses, fund research programs directed towards finding the cure for cancer, increase specialized training for oncologist staff, and more.
