The Social Worker plays a vital role in supporting children with cancer
and their families through every stage of the treatment journey. The primary
responsibility is to ensure smooth psychosocial transition and resource
facilitation from admission to discharge. The Social Worker also serves as the
bridge between doctors and families, coordinates care activities, manages data
and reports, and drives awareness and education at hospital units and local
communities.
