A charity that pays for and organises free cancer treatment for children in Honduras, working in seven hospitals and running its own children's cancer clinic and family homes.
The foundation says it began in 1982 with volunteers visiting the paediatric ward of Hospital Escuela and was constituted in 1989; working with the Secretaría de Salud, it provides cancer medicines, diagnostic tests and psychological and nutritional support free of charge. It lists paediatric haemato-oncology units at Hospital Escuela in Tegucigalpa, Hospital Mario Catarino Rivas in San Pedro Sula and Hospital General de Atlántida in La Ceiba (from 2011), its own Centro Médico para el niño con cáncer, and Casas Hogar in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula; it says it has brought treatment to 7 hospitals and runs a laboratory with flow cytometry. The foundation states that survival of children with cancer has risen from 10% to 70%. UICC's page (full member) says it treats patients aged 0 to 18, has helped more than 6,500 and supports about 1,200 a year. The coordinates are an approximate Tegucigalpa city point.
