C2C is supporting the cure of four children with leukemia at the recently renovated pediatric onco-hematology unit of Prishtina. Mrs Leonora Bajraktari our local coordinator, herself the mother of a girl with leukemia treated in Italy at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, is providing logistic and financial help to these families as well as precious advice and psychological support in coordination with pediatric onco-hematologists following the children in Prishtina. All children are doing well so far, the forth one was just diagnosed and should start treatment this week.
Drugs and other medical supplies covering the needs of these children are being provided by C2C with the support of the Italian peace-keeping civilian-military cooperation task force (CI.MI.C)
The inauguration of the new pediatric onco-hematology ward at Prishtina University Hospital on Friday December 5, is a lucky coincidence that further increases the potential of this cooperation.
