More than 500 Ukrainian children with cancer have been evacuated to a clinic in Poland. Doctors then place them in one of some 200 hospitals in 28 countries.
BOCHENIEC, POLAND — Twenty-two-month-old Yeva Vakulenko had been through four rounds of chemotherapy for leukemia at a hospital in Ukraine, and then suffered a relapse. As she began returning again for more treatment, Russia invaded, disrupting doctors’ efforts to cure her.
The little girl, who her grandmother says understands everything, is one of more than 500 Ukrainian children with cancer who have been evacuated to a clinic in Poland. Doctors then place them in one of some 200 hospitals in 28 countries. Stable patients are transferred quickly from there to hospitals in other countries while those in worse condition are first stabilized in Polish hospitals, he said.Decisions have to be made fast because time is critical for the young oncology patients.
“At times we can have convoys with only 20-something patients but we can have up to 70 patients at a time and even more,” she said.
