Parents have been urged not to take the issue of cancer lightly.

This comes after twenty-two children died from the disease since January last year to June this year.

WOWS Kids Fiji founder, Sina Kami is urging parents to look out for symptoms or indications of cancer.

” If you see the symptoms especially if it is persistent and keep coming, if it high fever, bleeding nose, if you see your child has easily bruised and stuff like that take them to a doctor.”

Kami says that the organisation needs $300,000 annually to support children diagnosed with cancer.

Currently, they’re assisting sixty-nine children who are battling cancer.

The month of August has been dedicated to raising more awareness on the deadly disease.
