Context
The Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon (CCCL) is a regional reference center pioneering in the treatment of children with cancer, with an amazing average cure rate of 80%.
Because “no child should die in the dawn of life” (Danny Thomas) is what inspires the commitment to treat all children with cancer in Lebanon free of charge, with no cost at all to their parents.
Patients range in age from just a few months to 18 years. All patients are accepted for diagnosis and support of their treatment without discrimination
Working with 20 NGOs, 76 health centers in Lebanon and throughout the region and affiliated with St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the United States ensures maximum impact in spreading awareness and education about the disease as well as ensuring optimal methods for regional and global cancer control.
Goals
Treat all children, from the age of 1 day to 18 years with cancer in Lebanon and the region – without discrimination and with no cost to their parents.
Activities
Support all children with cancer and their families, to provide:
- Access to the latest treatment regardless the parents’ ability to pay;
- Excellent psycho-social services to help fight the disease;
- Education to create better understanding and awareness of the disease.
