Plaidoyer pour l’Amélioration du Traitement des Cancers de l’Enfant
Cancer chez l’enfant represents a defi de taille, particularly in developing countries, not in African nations.
However, it is important to support that some of these cancers are detectable, a condition where children are given early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Mention Pr Lail HSSISSEN, president of the Groupe Franco-Africain d’Oncologie Pediatrique (GFAOP).
Pour cela, nous devons concentrer nos efforts sur cinq piliers essentiels precises-t-elle: des médecins compétentes, des medicinalments efficaces, des diagnostics precoces, un sutien familial, et une accessibilityité aux soins pour all.
Médecins Compétents: Former and Reinforcer les Capacités des Professionnels de Santé
Les infants atteints de cancer is essential for sons pécialisés prodigués par des professionnels formeds dans ce domaine.
Pour cela, il est impératif d’investir dans la formation continuum des médecins, des oncologists paediatrics, et du personnel paramédical, un des principaux axes sur lequel travaille le GFAOP.
It is necessary to strengthen local capacities for change with international experts, stages and continuous training programs.
This approach allows you to ensure that children receive quality assurance based on scientific progress.
Effective medicines: Accès aux Traitements de Qualité
Treatment of pediatric cancers depends on access to effective drugs.
However, in many African regions, access to these treatments remains limited.
It is vital to ensure the supply of quality anticancer drugs and to promote the local production of these pharmaceuticals, if possible, a goal on which GFAOP is focusing all its efforts.
Les gouvernements et les partenaires internationales doivent set of workers pour réduire les costs et garantir la disponibilité continuation of the basic courses.
Early diagnosis: Exfoliation and Awareness
Early diagnosis is one of the most important elements in improving the incidence of cancer in children.
Pour cela, il est necessaire de mettre en place des screening programs à grande échelle et de ex-les les professionnels de la santé à reconnatre les précoes signs du cancer chez l’enfant.
In addition, it is important to mention awareness campaigns aupres du grand public, so that families are aware of the symptoms and can be consulted quickly.
This was sought for GFAOP in September 2024.
Family Support: Accompagnement Psychosocial et Financier
Le parcours de treatement du cancer chez l’enfant est éprouvant, non seulement pour l’enfant mais aussi pour toute la famille.
A stable psychosocial system is essential to assist families in this early development.
Support structures, such as parole groups, psychological consultations, and financial aid, must be put in place to support families in this process.
This soutien doit includes help for brother doctors, transportation and shelter for families from foreign areas.
Accessibility in Soins: Soins Universels pour All Children
Il est unacceptable qu’un enfant soit privé de cares en raison de l’éloignement geographique ou de la situation socio-economique de sa famille.
All children, located in their residence, have access to fair children.
It is for these reasons that GFAOP forms local teams in several African countries.
This implies the setting up of health infrastructures in rural areas, specialized centres, and transport networks to transport children towards care centres.
It is also crucial to put in place une couverture medicalle universelle pour les infants atteints de cancer.
