The myth-buster
Li Zhizhong is on a mission to provide accurate information about cancer, Wang Qian reports.
Last year, the foundation cooperated with search engine Baidu to provide scientific information on 25 entries related to pediatric cancers, which have been edited and checked by 19 clinical specialists in children's oncology from the country's top hospitals. The information covers details on the causes, symptoms, treatments, prognosis to these cancer types. As of December, the information has been accessed more than 30 million times.
"Within two years, the organization has helped parents and children with cancer to get access to scientific information, online and offline," Li says.
He adds that besides educational program, he hopes that one day the foundation can cooperate with top experts, pharmacies and academies in the research of pediatric cancer drugs, bringing hope to all children with cancer around the world.
"Every child deserves a bright and healthy future," Li says, smiling.
