A nasty autumn day turned into a real holiday for Moscow small residents who came to the Zereteli art gallery. The name of this festive event was “The Sunny Day.” It was held not for the first time by the Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Research Institute of the Russian Blokhin Cancer Research Center and Vnesheconombank. In attendance were 70 doctors and 250 small patients who were given a terrible diagnosis not long ago. Now, all of them are enjoying good health. And it’s not a miracle. Thanks to specialists’ efforts and VEB’s assistance which it has been rendering to the Center for as long as ten years, regarding this program as a priority, the children’s anxieties and their parents’ fear for their lives were left behind.
Happy faces, smiles and songs to the accompaniment of composer Evgeny Krylatov gave rise to positive emotions. And there were so many children who wanted to go to the stage to say hullo to a real Klepa – actor Sergei Balabanov and Pechkin – Alexandr Vdovin and dance with clowns Vlad Rudenko and David Levitsky who gave children intricate figurines made from balloons. Performances of children, circus artists and adult singers carried children and adults away to a fairy-tale world where everything has a happy end.
According to Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Research Institute Director, Blokhin Cancer Research Center Deputy Director Mamed Aliev this event aims to draw attention of all interested organizations to the problems of cancer diseases in general and to pediatric oncology in particular which were not included in the list of top-priority government programs. “If we look at the child death rate statistics in Russia, traumatism ranks first, cancer diseases rank second,” believes Mamed Aliev. Quite a few new discoveries have been made in the recent decade in cancer diseases treatment. Cancer patients’ therapy has changed; new methods of high-dose treatment with stem cell support came into being. These children’s’ quality of life has changed for the better and this allows to preserve limbs in 90% of sarcoma patients. Every year, 15 children per one thousand population develop cancer in Russia. And 80% of them, in the case that the disease is diagnosed at early stages, recover.
A lot of the Research Institute’s innovations were made due to the VEB’s assistance. According to public relations department head Natalia Salmanov, this assistance is being provided on a comprehensive and long-term basis so that the results of cooperation can be seen clearly. VEB renders assistance to the First Pediatric Hospice for children with cancer and hematological diseases. And furthermore, two years ago VEB gave the Blokhin Research Center equipment for performing endoscopic operations as a gift. Last year, VEB gave multifunctional operating table to the Centre as a gift. Recently VEB helped to purchase equipment for performing operations and for post-operational period when patients are treated in intensive-care units. The equipment includes monitors, and devices to monitor breathing, heartbeat etc.
Every year VEB holds a festive event “The Sunny Day” and invites to it children who underwent a successful course of treatment in the Cancer Center and were able to overcome their disease or were recuperating. In doctors’ opinion such festive events play a great role in a difficult process of patients’ adaptation in the recuperation stage. Communicating with their peers who cancelled their terrible diagnosis they gain valuable experience in coping with their disease.
