Mission Statement:
‘To ensure that no Malaysian fears cancer by creating an
understanding of cancer that leads to prevention and early detection, and by
providing the best possible care and support for those affected by cancer’
The National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) is a registered,
tax exempt charity body established in 1966, under the laws of the Malaysian
Societies Act and Registrar of Societies Malaysia, and is the first cancer
related NGO in the country that provides education, care and support services
for people affected by cancer.
NCSM was founded by Dato’ Dr S.K. Dharmalingam and launched
by the YAB Tun Abdul Razak. It is now under the distinguished patronage of the
Sultan of Perak. The Society is financed entirely by voluntary contributions
from the public.
Being the only charitable organization that provides
holistic cancer treatment and support to patients and caregivers, NCSM takes
them through their journey in understanding and dealing with cancer in various
phases through its five cancer centres – Cancer Treatment Centre, Women’s
Cancer Detection Centre, Nuclear Medicine Centre, Resource & Wellness
Centre and the Children’s Home of Hope.
The services are provided for at highly subsidised rates or
in some cases, free of charge to eligible persons. NCSM also has branches in
six states; Selangor & Wilayah Persekutuan, Penang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan,
Johor and Sarawak.
