Message from Dr. Harsha Prasad

Pediatric Hematology and oncology unit at KMC hospital Attavara, Mangalore has been treating children with cancer for the past 25 years. Our aim is to treat all children with cancer who come here for treatment irrespective of their social or financial background. 

Childhood Cancer Programme, CEDSE,  Vamanjoor, has been  working with us for the past 11years – counselling families to adhere to the treatment, make sure that they come for follow up  and helping families for their out of the pocket expenses. Due to the effort of CEDSE, our treatment abandonment rate is less than 2% whereas the national average is much higher than this. Because of CEDSE s efforts our long term survival rate has improved (now overall cancers around 65% whereas. Blood cancer is around 75 %). 

We sincerely thank the selfless work done by CEDSE team and look forward to continue the association with them.
