Parents of children with cancer holding rally in Bishkek. More than 20 people participate in the protest.

They are holding banners, saying: «Help, children are dying,» «Our children need help today,» and «Alymkadyr Beishenaliev, start a reform of pediatric oncohematology.»

«We have repeatedly appealed to the authorities with requests for help. They keep promising us, but no one is taking any steps. Children need different surgeries. One girl needs an urgent surgery abroad for $80,000. Sadyr Japarov, pay attention to this. The Ministry of Health does not pay attention to us,» the protesters said.
