Every year over half a million children develop cancer, leukemia or are born with

life-threatening hereditary blood disorders such as thalassemia or sickle cell


disease. As a group, they represent the most common Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD)
in many emerging countries. Most are curable but only a minority of children have
access to appropriate care. A lack of trained personnel and/or financial resources
are these children's major barriers to a healthy life. At Cure2Children our goal is
to ensure that local medical centers are available to offer an affordable and
reliable cure to children in their community suffering from cancer and other blood
disorders. We also contribute the development of worldwide evidence-based
diagnostic and management standards that improve a cure for all children with
cancer and blood disorders regardless of geographical, financial, and cultural
barriers.
