- Treatment and therapy of cancer patients takes an average of 3 months – 2.5 years at a very high cost. Meanwhile, the success of recovery depends greatly on the continuous treatment and therapy for both inpatient and outpatient.
- During the treatment and therapy process, children with cancer will experience vulnerable conditions due to decreased immunity, thus the correct handling and care are needed.
- The number of bed facilities in hospitals that have Hematology / Oncology (malignancy) services in each region is still very limited. Generally, patients from remote areas are sent directly to national referral hospitals (Jakarta) or referred to several government hospitals in several other provinces;
- However, many patients who come from less affluent families and have been supported by the government through JKN / BPJS do not continue treatment due to accommodation problems, living expenses or transportation while waiting for their children to seek/receive treatment in hospitals.
