A 6-month-old baby is the youngest person to be diagnosed with cancer in Fiji.
WOWS Kids Fiji Team Leader Viola Lesi says there are seven children that are undergoing chemotherapy, nine children that are undergoing palliative care and 15 are in remission.
Lesi says there are only two Paediatric Oncology units that serve all children in the country.
The Lautoka hospital that caters for children in Nadi, Lautoka, Rakiraki, Ba, Ra and Yasawa while the CWM hospital caters for children in the Central, Eastern, Southern and Northern division.
Lesi adds that families of children who are suffering from cancer are given moral support and strength by WOWS Kids which in recent years has gained popularity through their efforts to raise funds to make the final moments of young cancer patients a little easier.
WOWS Kids Fiji was set up to complement the treatment that children are receiving from the Paediatric Oncology services in our hospitals.
