National Cancer Coalition


Intro
The National Cancer Coalition donated a significant amount of pharmaceuticals to Oncology Hospitals in El Salvador. The Hospitals included: Hospital Rosales Hospital Nacional de NiÒo Benjamin Bloom El Instituto Seguro Social Hospital de OncolÛgica
The Need The patients pictured above begin to demonstrate the great difference these pharmaceuticals are making in the lives of so many patients in El Salvador. Although these hospitals have excellent physicians and staff, they so often lack the necessary medicines to treat many types of cancers. NCC is helping to make a difference.
Hospitals
	Many of the state hospitals in El Salvador are in great need of cancer pharmaceuticals to treat both pediatric and adult patients. The National Cancer Coalition distributed chemo-therapies to three cancer hospitals where medicines will be distributed at no charge to suffering patients.

The Distribution
El Salvadoran Minister of Health Betancourt and U.S. Charge d’ Affairs Philip French participate in NCC’s official hand-over of the donated medicines to the public cancer hospitals of El Salvador. Through a partnership with the Ministry of Health and the Fundacion Ayudame A Vivir, the National Cancer Coalition gave hope and treatment to the needy cancer patients of El Salvador.
Result Because of the NCC's efforts, numerous pediatric and adult cancer patients in El Salvador now have access to pharmaceuticals that are crucial in their treatment of leukemia and solid tumors.
