Fifteen children under the age of twelve lost their battle to cancer last year.
According to ‘WOWS Kids Fiji,’ the youngest victim was a three-year-old girl and the oldest was an eleven-year-old boy.
‘WOWS Kids Fiji’ Team Leader Viola Lesi said that early detection can help protect a child from cancer.
“The faster we get them to the hospital, the faster they can be treated because cancer can be cured. But early detection is the key and it is not only for child cancer. Early detection is the best bet here in Fiji,” she said.
Board member Anne Belle Ali said that the organisation provides assistance to children with cancer and their families such as transportation, medication and overseas treatment.
