KHCF is actively involved in the fight against cancer and as such is an active contributor to various forums and conferences through which it becomes a pressure group on the global community. The Foundation's global work aims to increase funding and key partnerships in order to obtain the resources and
support necessary to combat cancer more effectively in Jordan.
The King Hussein Cancer Foundation- Governing Body (The Foundation) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit institution founded in 1997 by Royal Decree to combat cancer in Jordan and the Middle East region.
The Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of a dedicated group of prominent volunteers chaired by
HRH Princess Ghida Talal.
The Foundation is the legal umbrella organization responsible for:
1) The King Hussein Cancer Foundation- Fundraising, Advocacy and Development (KHCF). KHCF is the largest community-based organization in Jordan dedicated to combating cancer. KHCF’s work focuses on fundraising and development, global advocacy, public awareness on early detection and prevention, cancer coverage and patient support.
2)
The King Hussein Cancer Center- Comprehensive Cancer Care & Research (KHCC). KHCC is the leading cancer center in the Middle East region providing adult and pediatric patients with state of the art comprehensive cancer care for all types of cancer. It is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI) as
a disease specific cancer center, making it the first and only center in the developing world to earn such a distinction. KHCC is led by
Dr. Asem Mansour- CEO/Director General. The King Hussein Cancer Foundation's
Cancer Care Program (CCP) is a
nonprofit coverage program that provides
cancer care coverage and guaranteed treatment at the
King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC)--
one of the top cancer centers in the world--in return for a minimal annual subscription fee, as no other insurance company in Jordan provides guaranteed cancer treatment coverage at KHCC.
