The CCC Foundation partners with the Royal Children’s Hospital and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute in Melbourne Australia to provide best practice in cancer treatment and care for children and adults at the NCI. The CCC Foundation has also provided part funds towards infrastructure improvements at the NCI such as a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and a Children’s Ward (CCC Ward).
CCC Foundation is currently completing the final phase of construction of the CCChouse, a 188-bed cancer transit home for outpatients at the NCI. The CCChouse is the largest facility of its kind for children and their carers as well as adult outpatients with cancer in Sri Lanka. Phase 1 of the CCChouse consisting of 100 beds was completed in September 2010 and is currently in operation. CCC Foundation is responsible for the construction and operation of this facility, which is located inside the premises of the NCI.
In December 2009, CCC Foundation embarked on CCCline, a free Telephone Counselling service that provides emotional support and guidance for people facing difficulties or simply wants to talk to someone about their problems. By dialing CCCline’s 1333 number, callers will speak to trained telephone counsellors who are willing to listen and assist.
