Message from Chairperson

Dear Friends,

There are few causes in our world more deserving and more urgent than the fight against cancer. Cancer has touched us all in one way or another, and knows no boundaries.

Thankfully, cancer patients in our region now have access to the most advanced cancer care at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC), the only comprehensive cancer center in the Middle East for both adult and pediatric patients and the first center in the developing world to be internationally accredited as a disease-specific cancer center.

In the space of 19 short years, KHCC’s highly-qualified staff has expanded from just 2 to more than 434 oncologists and consultants, treating over 6000 new patients each year! We are also immensely proud to have celebrated our 2000th pediatric cancer survivor.

At KHCC, it is our conviction that no one should ever be deprived of a real chance for a cure. To meet this life-saving goal, we opened a brand new, state-of-the-art expansion to KHCC in 2017. This new facility will offer the most advanced treatment services, including performing 300 bone marrow transplants annually.

I am counting on you to join us in the fight against cancer, and to give hope for a cure to the tens of thousands of cancer patients who need us, depend on us and put their trust in us.

With my warmest regards,

Ghida Talal
