The fate of refugee Ukrainian children and their parents is currently affecting many people in Germany. It is particularly hard for those who had to deal with severe blows of fate before the war broke out. Families with a child suffering from cancer are among the people who had to leave their homes in a hurry as refugees. Seven of these children are currently being treated in the children’s clinic of the University Hospital of Würzburg (UKW).

“We have had close medical cooperation with our colleagues in Ukraine for a long time and were already treating children from Ukraine in Würzburg before the war when the medical options in Ukraine were exhausted and they needed special therapy,” says Prof. Paul-Gerhardt Schlegel, Head of Pediatric Oncology at the University Hospital of Würzburg. Several employees of the university hospital had seen the pictures of a boy with cancer undergoing acute therapy on television, who had set off with his mother without knowing where the vital treatment could be continued.

“Our team was also very moved by the pictures. That is why I contacted our contact person in the Ukraine the very next morning and offered our help if the families fled to Germany,” says Prof. Schlegel.

At the same time, a Germany-wide initiative by the Society for Pediatric Oncology and Hematology (GPOH) has set itself the goal of enabling Ukrainian children with cancer to be treated in one of the highly specialized children’s cancer centers in Germany after they have fled. In addition to the urgently needed medical care, the refugee families are now also being supported in organizational matters. The International Office of the UKW takes care of this together with the psychosocial service of the children’s cancer wards and many other supporters.

In the past 14 days, 24 refugee children and young people with a life-threatening oncological disease were treated throughout Bavaria via the Bavarian children’s oncology network “Kionet” thanks to many years of cooperation.
