Children with cancer may have serious mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and behavioural problems. Psychological support from doctors, parents, relatives, and other support staff can help in healing and also improve their emotional well-being.
Mohammad Siraj, Right-Arm Fast Bowler of the Indian cricket team visited Rainbow Children’s Hospital as a goodwill gesture to motivate childhood cancer survivors. Miya Magic spent considerable time with the kids and gave a pep talk. He also distributed gifts to them. Dr. Dinesh Kumar Chirla, Director Intensive Care Services, Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Dr. Faisal B Nahdi, Pediatrician, Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Dr. Sirisha Rani, Senior Consultant, Pediatric Hematologist & Oncologist, BMT, Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Dr. Lokesh Lingappa, Consultant Child and Adolescent Neurologist, Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Dr. Prashanth K, Group Medical Director & Regional Director Business Operations, Rainbow Children’s Hospital and other staff were present at the event.
Speaking at the event, Mohammad Siraj, Right-Arm Fast Bowler of the Indian cricket team said, “I am very happy to spend time with these children. In a cricket match, dropping a catch can sometimes cost us the game. Similarly, in life, losing confidence and emotional balance can affect your fight against challenges like cancer. But just as we fight back in cricket, I encourage everyone to stay strong and not lose hope. Your courage is your greatest weapon in battling cancer. Be resilient, and keep believing in yourself.”
Dr. Sirisha Rani, Senior Consultant, Pediatric Hematologist & Oncologist, BMT, Rainbow Children’s Hospital said, “Advancements in cancer treatment have increased the survival rates of children with cancer. Early diagnosis of cancer is crucial to saving the lives of children”.
