Welcome to CCF

 

Children Cancer Hospital is a project of Children Cancer Foundation and a premier facility exclusively dedicated to the care of children suffering with cancer. A group of doctors, philanthropists, social workers and parents of children suffering from cancer registered Children Cancer Foundation in December 1999. It has become Children Cancer Foundation Pakistan Trust since July 2005.

 

Our Mission

 

To build a new Children Cancer Hospital which will serve as a centre of excellence in the highly specialized field of paediatric oncology with a commitment to provide quality cancer treatment to every child irrespective of paying ability, to create awareness about childhood cancer and to develop human resources in the this field.

 


From the CEO’s desk

 

Today, the CCH is poised at the verge of being transformed into a full- fledged quality based tertiary care hospital for childhood cancer victims. The path that we have travelled has not at all been smooth. Indeed, if it hadn’t been for your overwhelming support and awesome generosity, we wouldn’t be here. We are following a pathway of hope that will bring smile to those thousands of faces where fear of infirmity and death exists. Our dream now is a “place of our own”. We are working towards collecting enough funds to realize this mammoth task and hope that, as always, you will not shy away from the enormity of the dream that we have dared to dream.

 

Our Progress

 

By the grace of Almighty Allah things have moved smoothly since the inception of Children Cancer Foundation and the journey that started with one room has now taken shape of a well-established Children Cancer Unit.

The Foundation has so far provided free treatment and diagnosis to more than 1800 children suffering with cancer. More than 500 children have completed their

treatment and are enjoying normal healthy life and going to school. This has only been possible through excellent teamwork and support of people from all walks of life.

 

You can very well appreciate from the graphs that our workload has increased substantially over last few years. The daily out-patient has gone from 25 to 45 and the average bed occupancy is now 22 per day. The number of new referrals has increased. Our monthly expenses have gone 50 lacs rupees a month.

We look forward to your support and kind response to achieve our mission.

 

Little Friends of CCH

 

In a world where rewards are often sought prior to the good deed, children are perhaps the most selfless of all. These little friends of CCH from Happy Home School and Montessori Complex High School not only took part in an essay competition and post card making, but also donated generously, out of their own pocket money, to help ease the sufferings of childhood cancer victims. The prize distribution ceremonies at HHS and MCHS are planned for Mid-August 2009.
