How many of you have children ?

When a child is ill it is expected that society, doctors and hospitals to help. Being told that your child has cancer is extremely difficult. Many parents say they felt overwhelmed and confused in the first days and weeks after their child’s diagnosis.

In Macedonia the conditions for treating children with cancer are simply unacceptable

Without access to basic sanitery facilities The conditions of the wards up not is the medical certified The bathrooms are in third worst condition The walls are full of harmful mold There are no access to basic sanitary facilities The parents and children have no privacy

Harmful mold

Hemato-Oncology ward in the 21st century ?

The bathrooms at the Hemato-Oncology ward

The rooms are arranged without protocol and standards

The Association Sano to improve some of these conditions opened a “quiet room” where the children are able to escape from there sick beds and feel like children again. Where we also offer psychological support by our volunteers at Sano.

Children with cancer have the right to play
