There are unwell children, seriously sick, who belong to indigent and/or low-earning families. Families who have been doing their very best to make meets ends, that more often than not, failed to provide the basics for their families, more so the medical needs of their sick children. It is not only painful for the parents being futile to provide, but seeing their children in such difficult situation and a chance to survive the disease is getting slimmer.
This is what the Child Medical Assistance Program (CMAP) aims for, to help the terminally ill children from indigent families with assistance in cash and in-kind helping them to get their urgent medical and nutritional needs.
On July 10, 2023 (Monday), we've met with the latest CMAP Beneficiaries being treated from different public hospitals.
