The Problem

State of Baja California and Mexico cancer outlook

  • Today, pediatric cancer is a neglected area. It is the # 1 reason for death of children between ages 5 – 14.
  • Today, six children will die from cancer.
  • Today, there is only about 180 medical oncologists for a population of over 122,000,000.
  • Today, 46% of the population lives below the poverty line of a monthly income of: US $145.26 in cities or US $92.30 in rural areas.
  • Today, 52% of the total child population of 33,000,000, does not have access to medical care.
  • The 5-year survival rate for pediatric cancer was only 10% in 2007.

The solution

Together, we provide excellence in diagnostics the first time.

Together, we provide immediate personalized medical treatment.

Successes Achieved

Together, with our generous donors and The Centro Oncologico Pediatrico de Baja California, A. C., we have achieved:

  • Over the past 14 years, thanks to international philanthropy and you, we have improved the 5-year survival rate from 10% to more than 83% at our pediatric hospital today.
  • Our 5-year survivorship rate numbers are still double the national average today.
  • Our initial scope was to only serve children living along the California – Baja border. Due to the number of children not having access to medical care, we have attended children from over 13 states in Mexico and San Diego as well as Ecuador.
  • In 1989, Mexico’s National 5-year survivorship rate was only 15%.
  • In 2007, The State of Baja California’s 5-year survivorship rate was only 10%.
