C4CCCI, a project to take care of needy patients

Caring for Childhood Cancer and Chronic Illness (C4CCCI), a project to take care of children suffering from leukaemia and other chronic diseases, has started functioning in Kozhikode.
The project, a joint venture of the Department of Paediatrics, Kozhikode Medical College Hospital (KMCH), and Institute of Palliative Medicine, Kozhikode, was inaugurated on Wednesday by Nandu, a leukaemia survivor, and Sarika, who is undergoing treatment for the disease.
The launch of a charitable venture exclusively for leukaemic children marks another milestone in development of facilities for cancer patients in north Kerala, which already has a strong and extensive network of community-supported palliative care facility. In its first phase, the C4CCCI will mainly support over 100 children registered with the leukaemia ward of the Institute of Maternal and Child Health (IMCH) in the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital.

While the patients will get free chemotherapy treatment at the IMCH, the C4CCCI will provide palliative care and support to the poor patients who need expensive medicines. The C4CCCI will also provide travel costs for the patients and free food during their stay at the hospital. This is expected to help patients from poor families who have to travel a long distance to reach the hospital for treatment. A major objective of the C4CCCI is to raise the rate of cure among children afflicted with leukaemia since it has been found to be low compared to that in developed countries. The low cure rate here is believed to be because treatment is not affordable and within easy reach of many patients.

A number of organisations have already announced support to the venture. The Kuwait Calicut Muslim Association (KCMA) on Wednesday donated toys for leukaemia-affected children. Actor Mammootty, who is also patron of the Pain and Palliative Care Society, launched a website of the C4CCCI and promised his support to its activities.

Dr.Lulu Mathews, chairperson, C4CCCI, and head, department of paediatrics, CMC. said the Rs.35-lakh ward for leukaemics at the medical college had considerably improved facilities for treatment of the disease. Leukaemia was no longer considered an incurable disease, she pointed out citing several cases of children surviving the disease after treatment at the hospital.

C.A. Ali Koya, chairman, APEX International School, made the first donation to the venture. A member of the audience who chose to remain anonymous announced a donation of Rs.1 lakh. DR.T.P. Ashraf, Superintendent, IMCH, and DR.Ajith Kumar, Assistant Professor, Leukaemia ward, IMCH, also spoke at the function held at Taj Residency to launch the C4CCCI.

INTRODUCTION



FROM WIKIPEDIA

Calicut Medical College was established in 1957 as the second medical college in Kerala, India. Since then the institution has grown into the premier center of medical education in the state. The vast and sprawling Medical College complex is spread over an extensive area of 270 acres (1.1 km²) located about 10 km from the heart of Calicut. It is affiliated to the University of Calicut and serves 2/5 of the population of Kerala.

The foundation stone of the college was laid on May 29, 1957 by the then Governor of Kerala Dr.B.Ramakrishna Rao. The College was formally inaugurated on the August 5, 1957 by the then minister of Health, Dr.A.R.Menon whose initiative and zeal were responsible for the establishment of the institution. The task of organising the college was in the capable hands of Dr. K.N. Pisharady, the first principal. With the completion of the college building in 1959 the preclinical section was shifted from the temporary location to the campus.

The main hospital with 1183 beds, commissioned in 1966, was supplemented by the 610-bedded Institute of Maternal and Child Health in 1975 and by the Savithri Devi Saboo Memorial Cancer Institute with 101 beds and the Chest Hospital later on. A superspeciality complex is under construction. An artificial limb centre, Casualty (Emergency Services) complex, Samraksha Kendram and Vishrama Kendram were newer additions to the institution. The Dental College was inaugurated on 16 April 1984. Dr C T Mathew was the first director of the Dental College. Currently the dental college is functioning as an independent college. New blocks for the College of Nursing and College of Pharmacy are the recent additions.

From its modest beginning the institution has grown steadily for more than 40 years. The annual intake of undergraduate students was increased from 50 to 200. The consolidation of undergraduate medical education was achieved in the 1960s and the 1970s witnessed the establishment and expansion of postgraduate medical education in the various branches of medical science. With the establishment of training programmes in the superspecialities, the institution further widened its academic horizon. During the last decade almost all modern speciality services in medical care have been developed in the institution facilities for Kidney Transplant and Whole Body Scan. A well equipped Cath Lab and Tele Cobalt Therapy are recent additions to the hospital complex. A well equipped Medical Education Unit was also started. The college also conducts in Nursing, Pharmacy, Lab technician training, training of Radiological Assistants and Ophthalmic Assistants. MSc. Nursing was started in the College of Nursing during 1997. The Medical library and most of the departments of the college have been provided with computer facilities.
