Children's hope: help to the Dnipro RMTCRZ. Onco 11

In November 2018, Kyivstar, in partnership with the Ukrainian Charity Exchange, launched the Children's Hope project to help children with heart disease and cancer who are undergoing treatment in Ukrainian hospitals. Despite the war, the program continues to operate and provides hospitals with the necessary medical equipment. In 2023, the project was expanded to help children with burns, and in the summer of 2025, the initiative began supporting children's intensive care units.

As part of the Children's Hope project in the field of oncology, in January 2026, assistance will be provided to the Regional Medical Center for Family Health (formerly the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Children's Clinical Hospital). The medical center provides assistance to children from combat zones and internally displaced persons who have suffered as a result of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.

The highly specialized pediatric care department works with a multidisciplinary team of narrow-profile specialists and provides inpatient medical and diagnostic care to children with oncological diseases, diseases of the circulatory system, immunological, endocrinological, orphan, and metabolic diseases. In 2025 alone, 2,560 children were treated in the department.

Currently, the hospital is in urgent need of Holter ECG monitoring systems and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring systems.

This equipment is extremely important for children with cancer, as it allows round-the-clock monitoring of heart function and blood pressure during complex treatment.

Cancer therapy often puts additional strain on the cardiovascular system. Thanks to these systems, doctors can:

• detect heart complications caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy in a timely manner;
• monitor the condition of patients throughout the course of treatment;
• adjust therapy to make cancer treatment as effective and safe as possible.
