Let's Anticipate the Trouble

                              Cancer can be cured if diagnosed in time!

As the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine states, according to the cancer rate among children Ukraine occupies one of the last places in the world but the children death rate because of cancer exceeds the world indices.  

Reason: problems concerning diagnosing a disease in time and providing appropriate treatment.

The majority of state programmes and projects that are realized by the public organizations are not aimed at   solving the problem of diagnosing cancer in time but at overcoming the consequences which appear because of a belated diagnosis.

In most cases the patients are hospitalized when they have 3^rd or 4^th stage cancer and, unfortunately, at these stages treatment doesn’t give any positive results.   

That’s why the representatives of the public organizations and volunteer groups that help children ill with cancer in different regions of Ukraine decided to change the situation for the better by implementing the project “Let’s Anticipate the Trouble”.

The goal of the project “Let’s Anticipate the Trouble” is to raise oncological awareness both among paediatricians and among parents.   

              The project is realized under the auspices of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine.
