Pediatric Cancer care project is run at K.E.M hospital by RCPC for children from lower socio-economic strata who suffer from Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia (ALL). Financial help is provided for the initial cycles of chemotherapy, so that the treatment can start immediately. This gives their families time to arrange for additional financial support required for subsequent chemotherapy cycles. Started in 1994, this project has been successfully running year after year. The beneficiaries are selected by a medical social worker from K.E.M. hospital who takes into account the socioeconomic history of the patient. Number of beneficiaries in 2018-19 was 16. Post treatment, most of these young patients are expected to lead a normal life.
