The King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF) and Center (KHCC) (Arabic مؤسسة ومركز الحسين للسرطان),[1]an independent Jordanian non-governmental, non-profit institution.
Its activities include fundraising and development, mobilizing international and local efforts to combat cancer, implementing cancer prevention and early detection programs, supporting underprivileged patients through Goodwill and Zakat funds, implementing psychosocial and academic support programs for patients and their families, in addition to administering the non-Cancer Care Insurance (CCI) program, a sustainable cancer financing mechanism which covers the treatment of subscribers at KHCC.
[4] The program, which was launched in 2007, aims to reduce breast cancer mortality rates by providing breast cancer early detection services to all women in Jordan and moving from diagnosing the disease in its late stages (3-4) to diagnosing it in its early stages (0-2), where the chances of recovery and survival are higher and the costs of treatment are lower.
The Center provides advanced, comprehensive care for cancer patients of all ages from Jordan and across the Middle East, and is managed by Dr. Asem Mansour in his capacity as its CEO and Director General.
KHCC is home to the first public umbilical cord stem cell bank in Jordan and houses several important facilities, such as intensive care units for children and adults, diagnostic and therapeutic radiology departments, the cell therapy and applied genomics department, as well as the bone marrow transplant program.
