The target group is represented by 500 children and young people diagnosed with oncological diseases, patients of the onco-paediatric and paediatric haematology wards aged 0-26 and their families. The beneficiaries are patients of the Fundeni Clinical Institute and the „Prof. Dr. Alexandru Trestioreanu” Bucharest Oncological Institute.
„The children come from all over the country and generally belong to families that are social cases (recipients of social aid/guaranteed minimum income), and the main source of income is the child allowance and the companion’s allowance that the mother usually receives while the child is in treatment,” the press release points out.
