We support children with cancer so that they do not interrupt their treatments due to lack of transportation from their communities to the hospital in several cities of Mexico, which are from 1 hour to 9 hours away, they in their majority come rural localities. If these patients did not receive our free service they could not by their own means arrive at the hospital, for their (weekly) treatments of chemotherapy or hospitalization, since they are mostly economically disadvantaged.
These patients primarily live in approximately 40 marginalized rural communities. Their families, already struggling with limited economic resources, often have other children to care for, making it nearly impossible for them to afford the frequent travel required for chemotherapy or hospitalization. The nearest medical specialty hospital is located several hours away, creating a significant barrier to life-saving treatment.
MUC operates a mobile transportation program to ensure that children with cancer, along with their parents, can access life-saving medical care. To sustain this service, the organization recently replaced a transport unit, requiring financial resources for monthly payments, while also covering ongoing costs such as driver salaries, insurance, social security, fuel and vehicle maintenance. This intervention is essential to overcoming geographical and economic barriers...
To ensure that as many beneficiaries as possible have access to the full scheme of treatment. These children or new diagnosed cases will not leave their treatments for lack of transportation while Manos Unidas by Coatzacoalcos AC can continue providing to them.
