Improving Paediatric Oncology Outcomes in Nepal
Project disclaimer
Description
Over three years, this project will transform the quality of life of 1,365 children who develop cancer in Nepal by improving the accessibility, quality and equity of cancer treatment and the skills of healthcare staff. The project will also allow for more treatment to be provided outside the capital Kathmandu, closer to children’s homes. The combination of treatment close to home and the psychosocial support provided will ensure that fewer families reject or abandon treatment for their children. This is currently a particular problem for girls who are less likely to be presented for diagnosis and whose families are more likely to either reject or abandon their treatment. The provision of early warning signs training will ensure that more children who develop cancer receive a diagnosis and the opportunity of treatment, and that often diagnoses will be earlier, increasing the chance of successful treatment.
