The National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM), also known as Persatuan Kebangsaan Kanser Malaysia, is a registered, tax exempt charity body established in 1966 under the laws of the Malaysian Societies Act and Registrar of Societies Malaysia.
NCSM is the first not-for-profit cancer organisation in Malaysia that provides education, care and support services for people affected by cancer. It was founded by Dato’ Dr. S.K. Dharmalingam and officially launched by YAB Tun Abdul Razak in 1966. It is under the distinguished patronage of the Sultan of Perak. The Society is financed entirely by contributions and donations from the public.
Being the only charitable organisation that provides a holistic cancer support to patients and caregivers, NCSM supports patients in understanding and dealing with cancer in various phases through its five cancer centres – the Cancer and Health Screening Clinic, Nuclear Medicine Centre, Resource and Wellness Centre, Quit Smoking Clinic and the Children’s Home of Hope and has branches in six states, i.e. Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Perak, Penang and Sarawak.
We work with corporate partners, colleges, universities, schools and civil societies on awareness and outreach programmes in its efforts to educate the public on the prevention and early detection of cancer.
