AFNCI STORY

February 1, 2014

The Association of Friends of the National Cancer-free initiative (AFNCI) of Egypt registered in 1998 has gained national and international recognition as an NGO committed to improving the quality of life for cancer patients. The AFNCI had been informally operating since 1995 and since that time has provided the National Cancer Institute (NCI) with equipment and programs exceeding 150 million LE. The National Cancer Institute Board of Directors and Administration are committed to both facility and program improvement but lack the necessary funds and expertise and so have been pleased to cooperate with the AFNCI to achieve their aims for better patient care and facilities. The AFNCI has been responsible for implementing several projects within the National Cancer Institute. The development of the pediatric unit, the first clinical pharmacy in Egypt, the pediatric outpatient’s clinic, physiotherapy department, virology, microbiology, cytogenetics laboratories, the guest house, the upgrading of the blood bank program and the blood and platelet donor program are all areas in which the AFNCI has supported the NCI. The AFNCI currently is completing the NCI outpatients building which it completely funded from design to equipping. The facility should start operation by May, 2014.
