ASHIC mission is to ensure proper loving care, treatment and quality of life to the cancer children and their distressed families in whichever and whatever way possible.

 

ASHIC vision is to improve cure rate of cancer affected children and give support services and care to terminally ill/palliative patients coming from every corner of Bangladesh with their families.

​

Since its inception in 1994, ASHIC, Foundation for Childhood Cancer has served and:
