The Papua New Guinea Cancer Foundation Inc. (PNGCF) was formed for the purpose of improving coordination of cancer education & awareness throughout the country. Together with the burden that this places on an already strained health system, this approach addresses the situation of having multiple uncoordinated cancer activities, and limited information to both patients and health systems on cancer awareness and prevention activities. Our Vision is to reduce the threat and impact of cancer in Papua New Guinea through successful education, prevention and clinical support. Our Mission is to lead a cohesive approach to minimise the impact of cancer. Papua New Guinea Cancer Foundation will work with its partner organisations to create awareness and conduct prevention programs. PNGCF’s main source of funding is through corporate sponsorship/donations & project supporters. Company Overview: The Foundation is governed by a multi-sectoral board of volunteers made up of health professionals, private sector executives and relevant cancer stakeholders. Core activities: • Harmonising stakeholders involved in the delivery of cancer education and awareness programs in line with NDoH policies. • Conduct baseline surveys in order to better understand the general knowledge of cancer, habits and behavioural trends within a particular community. • Raise funds to advocate our activities to increase the amount of resources available and developing an evidence-based planning strategy to improve the effectiveness of investments. • Provide current and evidence-based information to the public on cancer education & awareness and health services available. • Provide information to health professionals and stakeholders on the cancer related statistics and treatment options.
