“Most childhood cancers are curable at a low cost. In high-resource countries, more than 80% of children with cancer survive while, elsewhere, the reverse is true, as the vast majority of children with cancer die, often in great pain. The Aslan Project is committed to addressing this disparity. The Aslan Project is a Washington, DC-based non-profit organization that promotes equitable access to pediatric cancer treatment by building sustainable and locally supported health systems in low and middle income countries (LMICs). To address inequalities of care, we collaborate with national governments, major hospitals, and academic institutions within LMICs to train local health professionals to recognize pediatric and adolescent cancers early, diagnose them accurately, and treat them effectively and compassionately. Founded in 2012, our model is both holistic and replicable, emphasizing a strong strategic alignment while allowing for flexibility in our programs and partnerships. Its components include: (1) Capacity building training. Our world-renowned volunteer medical team teaches local doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals at their local hospitals and abroad to diagnose and treat pediatric cancers and to train future specialists: (2) Comprehensive Family Support Systems. Through partnerships with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), we ensure that children in treatment and their families are provided with housing, counseling, and other vital psychological supports necessary to reduce the incidence of treatment abandonment; and (3) Other Essential Infrastructures. We work with local hospitals to ensure there are separate units dedicated to the treatment of pediatric cancer, to facilitate low-cost procurement of medical supplies and medications, and to introduce data collections and management processes. Since 2012, we have spearheaded the development of a comprehensive pediatric and adolescent cancer health system in Ethiopia.”
