As 87% of the families of the children diagnosed with leukemia who are registered to LOSEV are from a low-income background and 11% have no income at all, LOSEV provides complimentary treatment at LOSANTE; The Hospital for Children with Leukemia. Intensive treatment, accommodation and meals are completely free of charge for the patients and the accompanying mother.

With the purpose to raise awareness the increasing cases along with the prevention of cancer, another event pioneered by LOSEV for the first time throughout the world is The International Week for Children with Leukemia. The Week is being celebrated for the past 16 years on the last week of May. The treatment of leukemia and cancer can only turn into success with the support of individuals, institutions and corporate partners from all around the world.
