    • E5 | Treating cancer in a conflict zone

      E5 | Treating cancer in a conflict zone
      May 28 2025
      When Mayya Assaad met a girl with cancer, the encounter changed her life — and the lives of other children with cancer in Syria. Mayya was motivated to find a way to offer more compassionate care. She learned about the work of St. Jude and visited hospitals in other countries near Syria. Mayya eventually co-founded the first nonprofit organization dedicated to pediatric cancer in Syria. It’s called BASMA, which means “smile” in Arabic.

      BASMA began by supporting families in treatment and raising awareness about pediatric cancer in Syria. The foundation had plans to open a specialized care center for cancer treatment. Then, the Syrian civil war began.

      Through years of armed conflict, BASMA staff members kept helping their patients, even as fundraising became more difficult. Rima Salem, the executive manager of BASMA, says they have an obligation to their patients. “We have to continue because we cannot stop treatment. I’m sure that we are making a difference. We are raising the survival rate,” she says.

      This podcast was recorded before Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime fell on December 8, 2024, following 14 years of civil war and conflict.
