| The
Hong Kong Blood Cancer Foundation is a non-profit
charity organization founded by Professor Raymond
HS Liang from the Haematology/Oncology Division
of Queen Mary Hospital. The Foundation has invited
Ms Chan Po Chu as Honorary Ambassador. We treat
blood cancer with a positive attitude and perseverance.
To us, every patient is a human individual with
a unique set of needs. We are dedicated to providing
them with the best support possible and we strive
to improve the quality of life for both the blood
cancer patients and their families. Our mission
can be summed up in four branches: |
| |
|
| 1) |
The Foundation supports medical
research projects, especially those with special
reference to the unique pattern of blood cancer
observed in Hong Kong. The effort aims to acquire
new scientific knowledge and to identify previously
unknown causative agents of blood cancer. This may
result in effective prevention of some types of
blood cancer in the future. |
| |
|
| 2) |
The Foundation supports technological
developments, aiming to provide early and accurate
diagnosis of blood cancer. Molecular tools may be
utilized to monitor patients' follow-up treatments
for blood cancer. These can help provide detection
of disease relapse and the design of optimal treatment
for individual patients. |
| |
|
| 3) |
The Foundation supports rapid
introduction of effective state-of-the-art treatments
for blood cancer to Hong Kong. This avoids delays
that often arise because of limited public spending
on hospital services. New treatments are often too
expensive for the average patient. |
| |
|
| 4) |
The Foundation supports the
provision of better support services to patients
and their families. Comprehensive counseling programs
and hotline services may be provided to cater to
the socio-psychological needs of patients and their
loved ones. Every effort is made to give specific
attention to different categories of patients, including
school children, adolescents, mothers, family breadwinners,
single-parent families and elderly patients without
family support. |
