Stichting Su Aid has unveiled its 11th fundraising initiative, aiming to raise SRD 10 million to support the Hematology Department at Sint Vincentius Hospital (SVZ). The department, which treats patients with conditions such as anemia, blood cancer, and sickle cell disease, is in urgent need of renovation, expansion, and modernization. A significant portion of the funds will be allocated to acquiring state-of-the-art medical equipment to enhance the quality of care. The campaign was officially launched during a press conference at SVZ on Tuesday, where Su Aid and the hospital signed a collaboration agreement. The fundraising drive will run from November 3 to December 21, with donations easily made by sending an SMS to 1919, contributing SRD 25 per message. Hematologist Nicole Oldenstam highlighted that the department has already conducted 3,327 treatments this year, compared to 2,538 in 2024. Annually, approximately 150 sickle cell disease patients are admitted, while blood cancer treatments have surged from 75 in 2023 to 265 in 2024 (as of September). To create a safe and dignified care environment, over €200,000 is required. The plans also include constructing specialized rooms for blood cancer patients, allowing them to spend their final days close to their families if necessary.
