“CCCL is grateful for the contribution extended by Emirates Draw and their support in destigmatizing childhood cancer, alleviating the pain and easing the journey of patients and their families. The trajectory of cancer is associated with a financial burden for many patients and their families and through substantial funding from charitable benefactors, CCCL will consequently give hope to children and save their lives,” said Dr. Cesar Bassim, Chairman Of CCCL.
To date, CCCL has treated over 2,600 children with cancer and offered more than 6,000 external medical consultations to patients from all over Lebanon and the region. Their exceptional quality of care has resulted in an average cure rate of 80% for their young patients.
