90% of patients in the hematology department are cancer patients
Goals of Gemohelp project
Oncological diseases have rightfully become the plague of the 20th-21st centuries. A disease that appears out of nowhere, which is impossible to predict and sometimes even diagnose. And any recommendations are only a probability for protection, but not protection from the disease. The study of this problem is so complex and multifaceted that they are trying to connect artificial intelligence to solve this problem.
Leukemia patients face many difficulties during treatment, such as lack of space in wards, quality equipment, chemotherapy drugs, drugs, donors and even such basic things as a suitable catheter of the right size.
All this does not improve the prognosis of the disease course, but only aggravates it with additional financial and psychological burden.
The patient never knows if he/she be the lucky one of small percentage of survivors, and moreover, the search for and purchase of missing required drugs falls on the patients and their families. The side effects of the treatment are even worsened when for an hour the nurse unwillingly torments the patient trying to find a vein among those burned by chemotherapy, and a wrong-size catheter may easily pierce though a thin, thread-like vein. And every three days the patient exposes to a great stress waiting on a catheter insertion causing a physical pain.
To mitigate the factors affecting the course of the disease and the emotional state of the patient, we set ourselves the following tasks.
Achieving our goals depends on a number of objectives
Need for Medical Support: oncology diseases require significant financial expenditures for treatment, including chemotherapy and supportive care.
Many patients cannot afford to pay for these services without the help of charities. And the efforts of most charities are aimed exclusively at saving children. Often, the younger and older generations fight the enemy alone, getting into debt, or wasting precious time in searching for alternative, but affordable treatment methods.
Social isolation prevention and psychological support
Cancer patients often face social isolation and psychological difficulties. Isolation occurs not only naturally, due to the poor condition of the patient or due to hospital treatment. Often it is self-isolation, when the patient does not make contact even during short periods of his satisfactory condition, not wanting to seem weak. Help from charities can include the creation of support groups, providing psychological counseling and organizing events that help them feel less lonely.
Education and Awareness
Educational initiatives aimed at raising awareness about leukemia, its early signs. This can help in detecting the disease at an earlier stage and improving treatment outcomes.
Research Support
Funding for research and clinical trials focused on developing new treatments and improving the quality of life for cancer patients. This in turn can result in more effective treatments and save lives.
Improving Quality of Life
With assistance, cancer patients can access various types of support that will help improve their quality of life during treatment, including rehabilitation programs, care services, and adapting their home to their needs.
Help to cancer patients is critical to supporting and improving the quality of life of those suffering from this devastating disease. A society that participates in such programs essentially creates an insurance company that will, if necessary, help every citizen of this society, including a program participant.
Planned activities to achieve the objectives
These programs help create a comprehensive support system for cancer patients, providing them with the necessary resources and assistance at all stages of their fight against the disease.
Supplies for hematology departments
With the funds raised, we will be able to purchase all necessary for the hematology department and its patients, from medicines to beds. Far from city centers, in small towns, supplies provision is more difficult. If even the capital can experience a shortage, let alone distant regions. Our program will help patients from any region receive proper treatment.
Psychological support
Creating support groups where cancer patients and their loved ones can share their experiences and receive emotional support. Psychological consultations can help in overcoming the stress and anxiety associated with the diagnosis.
Educational programs
Conducting seminars and webinars on health, self-care, nutrition, and ways to combat the side effects of treatment. These programs can be useful for patients and their families, helping them better understand their disease and find ways to overcome it.
Social Adaptation
Organizing events and activities that can help cancer patients interact with other people. This could be holding art, music or sports events aimed at creating a community and reducing social isolation.
Funding for Scientific Research
Opening an in-house laboratory for oncology research, including clinical trials of new treatments. This will help improve treatment methods and the quality of life of patients.
Prompting Public Awareness
Disseminating information about the seriousness of the disease, the difficulties that leukemia patients face, and the importance of volunteering, donating and helping, the need to train professional personnel in the field of healthcare. From creating simple video reports to writing books and filming documentaries.
