The whole team of our association Enn Rev Enn Sourir, shows our gratitude to the government of Mauritius. It is for the first time that’s a government show a deep interest in childhood cancer and pediatric healthcare, a historical amendment. We would like to thanks specially the Hon.

Many in the past has lost their life because of funding; there was a need of money before starting a treatment, funding was needed to maintain treatment and some had difficulty to close their outstanding bill abroad. Today this is no more an issue for any parents and other stakeholders.
This budget measure will allow parent who lost their child with cancer in the past to make their grief and give more hope unfortunately to children that will get cancer or those kids who are living with cancer.
