E5 | Treating cancer in a conflict zone

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 • Duration 12:04

When Mayya Assaad met a girl with cancer, the encounter changed her life — and the lives of other children with cancer in Syria. Mayya was motivated to find a way to offer more compassionate care. She learned about the work of St. Jude and visited hospitals in other countries near Syria. Mayya eventually co-founded the first nonprofit organization dedicated to pediatric cancer in Syria. It’s called BASMA, which means “smile” in Arabic.

BASMA began by supporting families in treatment and raising awareness about pediatric cancer in Syria. The foundation had plans to open a specialized care center for cancer treatment. Then, the Syrian civil war began.

Through years of armed conflict, BASMA staff members kept helping their patients, even as fundraising became more difficult. Rima Salem, the executive manager of BASMA, says they have an obligation to their patients. “We have to continue because we cannot stop treatment. I’m sure that we are making a difference. We are raising the survival rate,” she says.

This podcast was recorded before Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime fell on December 8, 2024, following 14 years of civil war and conflict.

When a child gets cancer in Pakistan, their treatment options are sometimes determined by their family’s income level. But families of all income groups can find treatment at Indus Hospital and Health Network, which operates the largest pediatric oncology services unit in Pakistan.Afifa Batool is the head of marketing and communications at Indus. She says there are certain cultural challenges that cut across income levels. People may make judgments about patients that last long after treatment concludes. Indus works to address these cultural challenges in addition to treating patients medically.Afifa says the work of Indus is made easier by collaborating with other hospitals and foundations outside of Pakistan through the St. Jude Global Alliance.CreditsHost: Suheir RasulRecorded by: Jason LatshawProducer: Geoffrey RedickEditors: Grace Korzekwa Evans and Evelyn SkodaThis podcast is a production of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
