Together. Committed. For life.
Since 2015, Childhood Cancer Switzerland has been partnering with its member organisations to sustainably improve the situation of children and young people with cancer and their families. As an umbrella organisation, we are dedicated to ensuring optimal medical and psychosocial care during and after treatment, while also advocating for stronger legal protections. We actively promote childhood cancer research, raise public awareness, and advocate the interests of those affected at the political level. In addition, within the realms of self-help and follow-up care, we have established Switzerland’s sole dedicated competence centre for survivors — providing guidance, support, and a community.

“Our greatest concern is that all children can be cured in the future, that the late effects of the therapy are kept as low as possible and that those affected are given optimum care and support.”
