The Indian Association of Blood Cancer & Allied Diseases is a registered
voluntary, charitable organization committed to provide medical care and
support services and raising funds for research and treatment of cancers
that affect children. Cancer is the leading cause of death when it comes
to Children's Disease. We give from the heart, and we help provide
critical funding to researchers to study children's leukemia, immune
system disorders, cancerous tumors, thalassemia, and cells...just to name
a few. We also provide various facilities that are meant to improve the
quality-of-life of pediatric cancer patients and their families.
Since its foundation, over 40,000 thousand patients have received services
and support from the association in various forms.
Research into children's cancer not only helps young patients; discoveries
often apply to adult cancer also. For example, removing, freezing, and
returning bone marrow after chemotherapy can save the lives of adults as
well as children. Research is incredibly expensive. It may take up to a
million dollars to provide space, laboratory equipment, technical support,
and the researchers needed for a single research project. The association
needs support from well wishers to improve children's chances in their
fight against their number one disease killer. Your gift will go towards
vitally needed to fund child cancer research projects and improved
treatment facilities.
The association is also aware of a critical shortage of doctors, basic
scientists, nurses, and other support personnel working in the field of
cancer diagnosis, research and treatment. It is therefore another goal to
provide advance level continuing educational programs to attract promising
new students to study cancer thereby increasing the ranks of these
critically needed professionals.
IABCD solicits funds from all segments of the society and the entire fund
is being used for :
-
Research and clinical
investigation.
-
Fellowships
-
Laboratory equipments and
supplies.
-
Pediatric Oncology Symposiums.
-
Patient Care and Treatments.
-
Parent/child publications to
better understand the medical and emotional challenges they must overcome.
-
Public awareness and advocacy.
The Association has a
Medical/Scientific Advisory Board consisting of clinicians and basic
scientists who review research proposals. It has a Community Advisory
Board consisting of business, government and professional leaders who
advocate strong, broadly based community and institutional commitment, in
the fight against childhood cancer.
We express our deep gratitude to all well wishers, blood donors, medical
team, staff and members on board for their contribution, support and
guidance to deliver the services to suffering children and their families.
