OTB FOUNDATION AND FONDAZIONE BAMBINO GESU’ TOGETHER TO BRING CHILDREN A SMILE IN HOSPITAL

This approach follows the new research studies for the treatment of central nervous system cancers in children of pediatric age, which focuses not only on the therapy per se but also on preventing the long-term effects caused by the cures to which children are subjected.

Although 70% of these cancers are treated successfully, neurological, emotional, and cognitive problems significantly affect the quality of life post-healing: the accompaniment of children, parents, and families throughout the therapy process represent the most effective solution.

The project will be divided into three phases, a first analysis of the reality of the department, a second design of the activities to be carried out in the structure which will follow the start-up: activities will span child skills and exploit the latest technologies such as headsets and virtual reality
