Advocacy and awareness for better childhood cancer facilities in public hospitals is the key theme for "Haven of Hope", a collaborative project by House of Hope Foundation for Kids with Cancer Inc., Cebu Landmasters and Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC). Haven for Hope creates a safe, child-friendly and healing environment for children and adolescents seeking urgent care at SPMC, the biggest Department of Health retained hospital in the country. It is a shared space at the Children and Newborn Institute Emergency Room Complex for pediatric hematology/oncology patients needing urgent blood component transfusions and outborn neonatal care patients.
