जगन कार्की । लण्डन — बालबालिकाहरूमा हुने क्यान्सर रोगको उपचारार्थ सहयोग गर्ने बेलायतमा केन्द्र रहेको एक अन्तरास्ट्रिय संस्थाले नेपालमा पनि आफ्नो कार्य क्षेत्र बिस्तार गर्ने भएको छ ।

“वर्ल्ड चाइल्ड क्यान्सर” नामको संस्था अफ्रीका तथा एसियाका विभिन्न गरिव रास्ट्रहरुका बालबालिकामा भएको क्यान्सर बिरुद्ध सहयोग गर्दै आएको संस्था हो ।

उक्त संस्थाले “युके एड म्याच अपिल” मार्फत नेपालमा पनि सहयोग बिस्तार गर्ने भएको छ ।
नेपालमा हरेक बर्ष करिव १२०० बालबालिकामा क्यान्सर हुने, बिकासोन्मुख देशहरूमा क्यान्सर लागेका १० प्रतिशत बालबालिका मात्र बच्ने गरेको तथ्य प्रस्तुत गर्दै संस्था द्वारा जारी प्रेस बिज्ञप्तिमा बिकसित देशहरुका ८० प्रतिशत क्यान्सर पिडित बालबालिका बाच्ने गरेको तथ्य सार्वजनिकगरेको छ ।
वर्ल्ड चाइल्ड क्यान्सर संस्थाले धनि र गरिव रास्ट्रहरू बिचको क्यान्सर पिडित बालबालिकाहरूमा हुने मृत्युदरको अन्तरमा कमी गर्न “क्लोज द क्यान्सर ग्याप” अर्थात क्यान्सरको दुरी कम गरौँ भन्ने अभियान नेपालमा पनि चलाउने भएको छ ।
उक्त अभियान संगै अब यो संस्था २१ अक्टोबर , २०१९ देखी आधिकारिक रूपमा क्यांसर पिडित बालबालबालिकाहरूको सहयोगार्थ नेपालमापनि काम गर्ने भएको छ ।

“बालबालिकामा क्यान्सर लागेको पहिलो चरणमा नै सहि पहिचान गर्न सकिए सत प्रतिशत निको पार्न साकिने भन्दै रोगको पहिचान र उपचारको सहयोग गर्नु नै वर्ल्ड चाइल्ड क्यान्सर संस्थाको मुख्य उदेश्य हो । कम आयस्रोत भएका देशमा जन्मिनु अभिसाप हैन,पिडित बालबालिकालाई समयमा नै उपचार उपलब्ध गराई अकाल मृत्युबाट बचाउनु सबैको कर्तब्य हो“ भन्दै सक्दो सहयोग गर्न संस्थाका प्रबन्ध निर्देशक जोन रोसरले उक्त प्रेस वक्तव्य मार्फ़त अनुरोध गरेका छन ।

संस्था मार्फत आगामी २१ जनवरी भन्दा अघि नेपालका क्यान्सर पिडित बालबालिकाहरुका लागि गरिने कुनै पनि च्यारिटी सहयोग रकम बेलायत सरकारद्वारा थपेर दोब्बर बनाइदिने बताईएको छ ।

Every donation doubled by UK Aid Match – Close the Cancer Gap
Childhood cancer, if detected early enough, can be cured. In high income countries, like the UK, as many as 80% of children survive compared to as few as 10% in low-and middle-income countries such as Nepal.

Over 1,200 children are expected to develop cancer in Nepal this year yet just a fraction of these will ever receive an accurate diagnosis. Due to a simple lack of awareness of childhood cancer, children are often misdiagnosed meaning many die of curable cancers. In the small number of cases where children do receive an accurate diagnosis, a lack of trained professionals and resources can prevent children from receiving the best standard of care as quickly as possible. Finally, the immense emotional pressures and financial costs of childhood cancer can also be crippling and can lead to families abandoning treatment, significantly reducing their child’s chances of survival.

World Child Cancer believes that every child with cancer, no matter where they are born, deserves equal access to the best possible treatment and care. Through vital training World Child Cancer will improve healthcare systems in Nepal by training healthcare professionals to improve the quality of care available to children with cancer regardless of where they are born. The charity will also raise awareness of childhood cancer amongst local communities through radio and television broadcasts and by hosting awareness raising events to ensure children receive a faster route to better treatment.

As a UK Aid Match appeal, all donations made before 21st January will be doubled by the UK government meaning your support will go twice as far.

Jon Rosser, World Child Cancer Chief Executive, says: “Every child, regardless of where they live, should receive the best possible care when it comes to every stage of their cancer treatment.”

“There is a huge disparity in survival rates for children with cancer with many children dying of curable forms of cancer simply because they are born in a low- or middle- income country. If we have the knowledge and expertise to cure these children, it’s our moral imperative to do so.”

Alok Sharma, International Development Secretary, says: “The UK Aid Match ‘Close the Gap’ appeal will mean that Nepalese children living with cancer are treated by medical teams, who are trained to deliver quality medical care.

“All donations to the appeal will be doubled by UK aid up to £2 million, meaning that the generosity of the British public will go twice as far.”

All children have dreams and aspirations of what they want to be when they grow up. Children with cancer are no different, which is why World Child Cancer is asking supporters to help Close the Cancer Gap by donating today.

By giving today you will train more healthcare professionals, support families through treatment and raise awareness of childhood cancer; helping more children survive cancer. The charity has tripled survival rates from 20% to 60% in some of its programmes and with your support they can continue to save the lives of children around the world.

Give before 21st January and your donation will be matched by the UK government, meaning you could support even more children with cancer.
