With your help, dear tubers, we were able to purchase the drugs Jadenu and Cytosar and infusion filters for children undergoing treatment in the oncological intensive care unit.

Medicines and filters are already being actively used and they help young patients cope with life-threatening conditions and prevent their subsequent occurrence.

We thank everyone who took part in the collection! You and I helped take very important steps towards the recovery of children!

About the campaign

Pediatric oncology resuscitation requires drugs and medical supplies

After heavy chemotherapy and operations, children often end up in the intensive care unit because of the threat to life. Due to constant infusions, too much iron accumulates in the blood of young patients, which is a dangerous condition for small patients. In such a situation, drugs are urgently needed that can quickly bind and remove excess iron from the body. An excess of this element is life-threatening, as the liver, heart and pancreas can fail. To stop such acute conditions in intensive care, expensive drugs are used. But, unfortunately, these drugs are non-core, since they are not used directly for the treatment of oncological diseases, and are generally not allocated to the intensive care unit. Also, children need supportive drugs and special supplies that are not supplied in the right specification.

Dear tubers, this collection is very important for the life and health of children with cancer who are in intensive care. We will be very grateful if we can close it as soon as possible.
