Established in 1964, Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) is a self-funded voluntary welfare organisation which provides patient care services to needy cancer patients through its welfare, hospice home care, cancer treatment subsidy and rehabilitation support programmes. In addition, the Society also provides free cancer screening services and promotes cancer awareness and prevention through its public education and community outreach programmes.

For the past 59 years, SCS has extended support to over a hundred thousand beneficiaries through various services and programmes. The impactful programmes continue to contribute in SCS' four key strategic thrusts:

- To reduce the incidence of cancer
- To increase survival rates
- To improve the quality of life of cancer patients and survivors
- To rally the community to take proactive action and join the fight against cancer

SCS helps more than 1,800 needy cancer patients and reaches out to more than 95,000 individuals in our community outreach programmes to encourage screening and early detection of cancers.

Since its launch in April 2005, the SCS Cancer Treatment Fund has disbursed $15.4 million to subsidise the costs of chemotherapy and IMRT treatment to more than 4,635 needy cancer patients.

SCS welfare patients receive assistance in the form of financial aid and medical supplies such as milk feeds and stoma bags to help them tide over the difficult periods in their lives.

Each year, SCS needs about $21 million to run its programmes and services. Your donation will go a long way to assist our beneficiaries, giving them hope for the future.
