Continuing with its efforts to provide help to the most vulnerable, Wiese Foundation, the Cancer Foundation and the Red Suma Association allied themselves to provide support to vulnerable patients who travel from the provinces to receive care at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases, in Lima. This is about the 40 patients, their caretakers (in the case of minor patients) and the administrative personnel of the Frida Heller shelter.
The stated beneficiaries shall be served biweekly by a medical team specialized in Covid-19 screening, designated by our ally, the Red Suma Association. The mentioned medical team shall go every 15 days to the shelter in order to apply quantitative molecular and/or serological tests for Covid-19 screening to all the beneficiaries accredited by the Foundation, and shall deliver the results of the tests to the Peruvian Cancer Foundation, which, in its capacity as the entity responsible for the operation of the shelter, shall take the immediate actions warranted by the criticality of these cases.
Moreover,
it has been decided that on each day of care, all the beneficiaries shall
receive educational guidance for the prevention of contagion through the
delivery of fliers and specialized advisories.
The first day of testing was conducted successfully last week. The first stage
of this alliance shall continue during the next months, until December 31 of
this year, date on which its continuation shall be evaluated. This is one more
effort by Wiese Foundation and its allies to bring relief and hope to the vulnerable
communities hit by the pandemic.
We shall continue to work for a more mutually supportive and equitable Peru, forged by better citizens!
