Hinweis der Redaktion
Parents have undergone the experience of having a child with cancer, and have more insight on how best to drive the society’s practices.
General overview of services, from moment of diagnosis up til either survivorship or bereavement.
Expenses displayed are not including the expenses covered by donations and sponsorship in kind. Without those, expenses will be much higher. 2019 operating budget - Rm2.3 million
Support staff at the hospital are crucial to provide assistance and emotional support to parents and children in the ward.
Financial Aid is given for a period of 6 months minimum as a subsidy to help with caring for the child. RM350 per month and RM550 for bedridden patients.
Transportation claim to encourage patients from faraway to attend the regular check-ups
Medical equipment - Mother's bed, Overbeds, Wheelchairs, Ripple mattresses
Training for medical staff to provide better care for patients
The Centre has provided accommodation to over 200 families since opening in 2013. Without this centre, the parent would have to find and pay for a rental room, possibly with strangers, and if their sick child is very young, they would need to bring the child around to look for food to buy everyday when the child is not in the hospital. All this for at least 6 months which is the normal length of time for cancer treatment.

This is the pledge card used to collect donations. You can take more than 1 card. The SCCS services roadmap is on the back of the card, should the donors wish to understand more about what we do to help childhood cancer patients. Terms and Conditions are listed on the bottom of the card. All cards are property of the Society and must be returned, whether used or not.
SCCS can work with your appointed person in charge to create the event day program.
Press releases will be drafted and provided for your review and approval before event day.
No. of Hairdresses depends on no. of pax shaving – SCCS will provide as needed
Pledge card return should be done one week before event – to prepare receipts for collection before event day
