CAR-T Therapy

Maestro Cares Foundation funded the acquisition of essential CAR-T medical equipment for Fundación Pérez Scremini, a foundation treating children and adolescents with cancer in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Fundación Pérez Scremini operates the Pediatric Hemato-Oncology program in Hospital Pereira Rossell. They offer treatment free of charge to children from low-income backgrounds. Their services are comprehensive, including medical consultations, medications, hospital stays and meals, mental health support, treatment research, and transportation.

Maestro Cares Foundation’s contributions are to benefit the creation of a CAR-T Therapy (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell) Department. The groundbreaking therapy implements a personalized treatment for blood cell lymphomas by modifying a patient's own T-cells to target and eliminate cancer cells. Once open, the center will be the first to offer this life-saving treatment in Uruguay.
