At the Jacinto Convit Foundation, we remain committed to the sustainability and strengthening of the Personalized Leukemia Testing Program, aimed at Venezuelan children diagnosed with this disease. This initiative is made possible through the valuable support of strategic partners, donors, and collaborators who believe in our mission and help ensure that more patients have access to specialized diagnostic testing.
Since the submission of our last report in July, we have not received any new donations specifically designated for this project. Nevertheless, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing these tests to patients who lack the financial resources to access them through private institutions, thereby promoting more equitable access to essential diagnostic tools for treatment and follow-up care.
During the past four months, we have achieved significant progress in expanding our network of care. Notably, we incorporated two new partner hospitals: “Niño Jesús” Pediatric Hospital in Yaracuy State and Ruiz y Páez Hospital Complex in Bolívar State. These partnerships have strengthened our capacity to provide services and expanded the program’s geographic reach, enabling us to support patients in these regions and surrounding areas.
Regarding diagnostic activity, between July and October our laboratory processed a total of 220 samples from both pediatric and adult patients, distributed as follows:
July: 58 samples
August: 54 samples
September: 64 samples
October: 44 samples
With respect to the pediatric population, the primary beneficiaries of this program, 67 children were served during this period, distributed as follows:
July: 19 patients
August: 12 patients
September: 21 patients
October: 15 patients
These results reflect the continued importance and impact of this initiative in the lives of Venezuelan children and families who require timely access to specialized leukemia diagnostic services.
The Jacinto Convit Foundation extends its deepest gratitude to all donors, partners, and collaborators whose support makes the continuation of this program possible. Their contribution represents a source of hope for hundreds of patients and their families. We will continue working diligently to strengthen this initiative, expand its reach, and ensure that an increasing number of children and patients throughout Venezuela can access specialized and timely diagnostic services free of charge, ultimately improving their quality of life and prospects for recovery.
