Soleterre Foundation (Ukraine)

In Ukraine, Soleterre intervenes in the pediatric wards of oncology and neurosurgery in Kiev and L’viv to bring medical care and support the young cancer patients even through a shelter designed for psychophysical recovery.
In Ukraine, child mortality rates for cancer are higher than the European averages: if 75-80% of children are cured in Europe, this percentage is 55.5% in Ukraine. The main cause of such a low survival rate is the delay in the diagnosis and the lack of medical-surgical instruments and medicines. They are in fact charged to the families because the funds from the Ministry of Health are scarce.
