Monday, February 18, 2019
Havana.- The healthcare system of the eastern Cuban province of Ciego de Avila is executing the project called Por Quien Merece Amor (For Whom Deserves Love), aimed at treating patients with childhood-juvenile cancer.
The initiative is now in its fifth edition and promotes active research, awareness about cancer risk factors and better medical and affective care for those suffering from the disease.
The program is supported by doctors, nurses, medical students, patients and their families, and local agencies and organizations.
According to specialists, the territory reports the highest incidence of the disease in neuroblastomas, Wilms tumors, leukemia and lymphomas in patients from zero to 18 years of age.
During the past year, Ciego de Avila reported an increase in the incidence of cancer and mortality, although the survival rates in children and adolescents have increased.
