Our Vision Every child, whether suffering from leukemia, cancer, thalassemia, or sickle cell disease, has the chance for an affordable and reliable cure, locally. A global medical database connects tertiary care centers around the world and enables consolidated research, south-south partnerships, and most importantly, improved standards of care. Our Mission (1) To help children with cancer and severe blood disorders in undeserved regions gain access to a local, affordable, and reliable cure for their condition. (2) To research organizational and entrepreneurship models for sustainable tertiary healthcare in lower income countries starting from life-threatening disorders of children. Our Values We conduct every one of our actions with the following in mind: Every child’s life has equal value. All children, from wealthier countries to poorer countries, deserve access to the same quality and standards of care. We ensure that our staff works with the best professionals available locally and teaches them to adhere to the highest global medical standards. Access to medicine is a basic human right. Parents should not have to choose between selling their home and saving their child. We teach local medical centers to cure children with blood disorders at 1/10th the traditional cost. Medical centers trained by Cure2Children always operate on a not-for-profit basis. Research and thrifty innovation. Research conducted together with local partners is the only way to move forward. Research enables doctors and nurses to learn, and apply improved context-appropriate solutions. When individual experiences are not recorded and consolidated, they cannot be analyzed and learned from. Cure2Children invests in local research, data management software, and online communication tools to ensure that the future continues to be better than the past. Sustainability is key. To make a lasting difference, local medical centers must be able to continue curing children with blood disorders long after Cure2Children has left the area. We make sure that each medical center is staffed with trained local healthcare professionals. We help each medical center design and implement a sustainable funding mechanism before diminishing our financial contribution to that center.
