Three more pediatric cancer patients from Ukraine have safely arrived in Toronto for treatment, the city’s Hospital for Sick Children said Friday.
Dr. Sumit Gupta, a staff oncologist at the hospital, travelled with the patients and their families from Poland to Toronto, with the group arriving in Canada on Wednesday.
He also praised the overall co-ordination provided by St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in the United States. He noted there are numerous factors to consider when choosing the best place to treat a child, including their medical complexity, their individual needs and their family’s preferences. Gupta said the hospital is “ready and willing” to develop care plans that will aim to address all the medical and psychosocial needs of the patients, both arising from their cancer, as well as the circumstances that their families have fled.
