The Globalworth Foundation enhances the health of children with preventative ultrasound screenings program for children.

Globalworth Foundation donated 32 000 Euros for a children health project- special edition of "No to cancer in children" program.

Globalworth Foundation together with the Ronald McDonald Foundation examined 900 children during a 12-day preventative ultrasound screenings program of children. The examinations were painless, safe and free of charge.

The examinations enable early identification of childhood malignancies and developmental abnormalities. Early detection of a cancerous lesion is essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment and increases the chance of recovery.

Examinations were carried out in 3 Globalworth communities : Warsaw, Wrocław and Kraków. In each of these cities, radiologists aboard the Ambulance - a unique mobile medical station equipped with modern ultrasound equipment - examined children aged 9 months to 6 years.
After the completion of the examination parents receive the result and in cases when needed medical advice.
