For more than a decade, Project HOPE has been helping to improve treatment, diagnosis and outcomes of childhood cancer through health care professional training and medical equipment donations.

In Iraq, HOPE helped establish and support the first hospital constructed in the country since the 1980s. Opened in 2010, the Basrah Children’s Hospital is dedicated to treating childhood cancers in a country where pediatric cancer rates are higher than normal.

In Poland, Project HOPE’s more than 30 year relationship with the University Children’s Hospital Krakow continues to improve children’s health with a successful health care education program that is improving early detection and diagnosis of childhood cancer.

And in China, HOPE’s support of the now 15 year-old Shanghai Children’s Medical Center is improving oncology care for the youngest of patients with the a new state-of-the-art 142-bed oncology tower opened in June. HOPE is providing health care education programs to support research, treatment and diagnosis as well as psychological programs to help children and families along the treatment path.

On World Cancer Day—help us continue our fight against pediatric cancers and to continue our 55 year-old mission to provide Health Opportunities for People Everywhere.
