THANKS to Senator Alain Fouché from Vienna, who questioned this AM Ms. Buzyn, Minister of Health, on the low funding for pediatric oncology research. The disengagement of the French State in this area over the past 20 years is visible today with the story of little Robin, mentioned by the senator, and many other children, whether or not supported by social security. : Will we have to send our children - suffering from the most difficult cancers - abroad so that they have a chance of being cured?
The representatives of the Eva Pour la Vie association and the Cassandra Association, accompanied by Doctor Marie CASTETS, researcher at the Cancer Research Center of Lyon, had an appointment at the Ministry of Research with Isabelle RICHARD, health advisor at the cabinet of the Minister.
The amendment proposed by the deputy of the Gironde Benoit Simian - whom we thank for his unwavering involvement - aiming to allocate 20 million euros / year to the funding of research on pediatric cancer & leukemia (via the Chirac tax on plane tickets, which already exist and would therefore not have generated a new tax) was discussed overnight from Saturday to Sunday - around 2 a.m. - at the National Assembly.
