The Singapore Cancer Society was established in 1964 by individuals from the Rotary Club of Singapore West, the Lions Club and Jaycees, and was inaugurated by the then Minster of Health, Mr Yong Nyuk Lin.
For the past 50 years, the Society has assisted countless needy patients and advanced the cancer cause in Singapore through its many programmes and services, which include:
• Cancer treatment subsidies
• Financial and welfare aid
• Hospice home care
• Free hospital transportation to/from cancer treatment
• Rehabilitative support
• Cancer screening
• Cancer research
• Public education
The Singapore Cancer Society is a voluntary welfare organisation that depends on public donations to fund all its services and programmes. The Society is endorsed by the Ministry of Health and is a member of the National Council of Social Service. It also has IPC (Institute of Public Character) status as a charity since 1995.
