This Friday, the second of the flights landed in Barcelona, following the first one that landed in Madrid the previous week, carrying 16 Ukrainian children suffering from cancer with their families.
The SEHOP, the Aladina Foundation, the Villavecchia Foundation and the José Carreras Foundation, together with the child cancer organisations working in Catalonia, organised the arrival last Friday of the second group of Ukrainian children suffering from cancer.
The operation has been made possible thanks to the essential collaboration of the Sant Joan de Déu, Vall d’Hebron and Sant Pau hospitals; and the joint work of different organisations against childhood cancer in Catalonia (Asociación contra el Cáncer – Catalunya, AFANOC, Fundación Enriqueta Villavecchia and Fundación Josep Carreras. Interpreters, volunteers and a large group of people have collaborated in the reception and accompaniment of these families.
In coordination with the Servei Català de la Salut, the children have been referred to the three Catalan hospitals, where treatment will be resumed and comprehensive assistance will be provided in terms of care, social and emotional support.
This solidarity initiative is the second in our country after the arrival in Madrid of 25 children with cancer and their families a fortnight ago, which was also led by Aladina.
