Provision of quality care to children suffering from cancer irrespective of their paying ability has matured to building the NewChildren Cancer Hospital where treatment will be provided regardless of paying ability and which will serve as a center for human resource development, clinical trials and research to bring about a real change in pediatric oncology in Pakistan.

Cancer is perhaps the most dreaded word in the medical world, especially so in children. When a child is diagnosed with cancer in our society, he is either taken abroad for treatment if affording or is rather left in a state of bewildered anxiety. Lack of a specialized unit where complete and quality treatment could be provided leaves a vast majority of children facing certain death. The Children Cancer Foundation was registered in December 1999 by a group of doctors, philanthropists, social workers and parents of children suffering from cancer with a mission to provide quality cancer care to every child irrespective of paying ability. The journey that began in a single room has now blossomed into a well established children cancer unit. This could not have been possible without the unrelenting support from all walks of the society.
