 Title: Advancing Pediatric Oncology: A Milestone Partnership for Children with Cancer



Introduction: In a groundbreaking announcement, Dr. Chepsy Philip and Team RACTHAM have successfully forged a pivotal partnership with an NGO to extend vital support to children battling cancer, in collaboration with CanKids. This monumental achievement marks not only a significant stride in the relentless pursuit of healthcare excellence but also a testament to the unwavering dedication of the institute over the past decade.

The Partnership Unveiled: The newly formed collaboration, known as CanKids Hospital Support Units (CHSU), signifies a strategic alliance between CanKids and hospitals across India dedicated to pediatric oncology. At its core, the Youth Affected by NCDs Approach (YANA) focuses on fostering symbiotic relationships with healthcare institutions, with a specific emphasis on children's cancer treatment.

Comprehensive Support for Pediatric Oncology: Under the CHSU umbrella, a comprehensive array of 10 program areas and 25 core services will be provided in each partnering hospital. The multifaceted CanKids Social Support Team comprises a diverse group of trained professionals, including social workers, data managers, dietitians, teachers, psychologists, volunteers, patient navigators, and care coordinators (parents and survivors). This tailored team composition is designed to meet the unique needs of each center, ensuring a holistic approach to pediatric oncology support.

Holistic Care Ecosystem: Recognizing the multifaceted needs of children undergoing cancer treatment, CanKids ensures the provision of dedicated medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, and research coordinators. This holistic care ecosystem aims not only to address the medical aspects but also the emotional, educational, and social dimensions of the children's lives, fostering a supportive environment crucial for their overall well-being.

A Testament to Persistence: The announcement comes after three years of persistent efforts in reaching out to establish this transformative partnership. Interestingly, the support coincides with the 10th anniversary of the institute's foundation, adding a profound layer of significance to this collaboration.

Gratitude and Acknowledgment: Dr. George Chandy, representing the institution, expressed sincere gratitude, attributing this remarkable achievement to the grace of God. The partnership signifies a turning point in the institute's mission to expand its capacity to treat more children and enhance the quality of care provided.

Conclusion: The partnership between Team RACTHAM and CanKids through the CHSU initiative marks a commendable step forward in the realm of pediatric oncology. It reflects not only the dedication of medical professionals but also the collective effort to create a compassionate and comprehensive support system for children with cancer. As we celebrate this milestone, the impact on the lives of these young patients promises to be profound, offering hope and healing in their challenging journey.
