Six year old Emiliano Baca has been hospitalized for the last three months in the pediatric department, suffering from leukemia.

What aggravates Emiliano’s and his parents’ pain, is the lack of the medications that treat this illness.

“Nothing has been done. They said that they would open a tender, but nothing! We have had medications only from a private family”, says Florian Baca, the father of the six year old patient.

The nurse that looks after Emiliano says that the hospital directory has secured some vials of the medicament that treats the illness and the medication has started.

“The directorate has informed us that they will bring the medications. The next cycle will be provided by the directory. It is very costly and maybe it is difficult for the state”, says the nurse.

“They say that our state does not have this type of medication. But then, where does the private pharmacy get the medication”, is Emiliano’s father reaction.

Meanwhile, after being notified on Emiliano’s case, Dutch ambassador, Henk van den Dool visited him in the pediatric department with the attributes of a father.

“I know that Emiliano must be treated with proper medications. I know that he is under doctors’ care. I encourage everyone to do what is possible so that he can take his medications. I will personally make sure that he gets better”, Henk van den Dool declared.

Dutch ambassador appealed to all businessmen and whoever that can offer help to Emiliano to come forward and give him the opportunity to grow up healthy and happy as every other child.
