SAFER Ukraine represents a unique humanitarian response to the indirect effects of war, and its strategic and operational elements might not be generalizable to all conflict settings or patient populations.
Dr. Kathelijne Kraal, pediatric oncologist and head of International office Princess Máxima Center, participated in SAFER Ukraine. Kathelijne Kraal: ‘This has been an incredible experience: a journey and effort of collaboration in the care for pediatric oncology patients under exceptional circumstances. This SAFER platform really has created an unique challenge for all centers and the medical/nursing staff involved. 53 children with cancer found a home in guest families or acquaintances of our center and were able to continue their treatments.’
