In the West and in developed countries, around 80% of childhood cancers can be cured. But in Iraq it is nearer to 40%.

Our aim is to increase the survival rate for children with cancer in Iraq and to give them the best available treatment.

Wars and sanctions in the last 4 decades have had a bad toll on the country's infrastructure. Healthcare has deteriorated due to neglect and, because of the lack of essential medical supplies, equipment, and proper training, the patients have little chance of getting the treatment and care they need. Despite the struggles, the Iraqi paediatric oncologists always do the best they possibly can to give the best care to treat their patients.

With the funds we collect we would like to carry out these projects:

1. Provide support to diagnose difficult cases

2. Provide treatment advice from world class experts

3. Provide nurses, oncologists, pathologists, nutritionists and other specialist training

4. Provide information leaflets and posters to raise awareness in the public and medical world about childhood cancers and how to spot the symptoms earlier

5. Buy essential medical equipment, patient room necessities, hand sanitisers and more

6. Fund the transport of patient samples to specialist diagnostic laboratories in the West

Together we can improve the survival rate for children with cancer and give them the chance to live a healthy life and thrive.
