APSL-CRF programme was launched in 2017 at the 13th APSL Dinner Dance in London with a view to helping cancer patients in Sri Lanka. Over the past three years, we have established collaborations with key hospitals in five provinces in Sri Lanka and provided them and patients with essential and critical medical supplies and financial support.

Medication –  Individuals who cannot afford treatment to be nominated by a medical professional registered with the APSL Cancer Relief network. The maximum limit for requests will be set at LKR 50,000 per individual/request.

Family/Finance Help –  This can include contributions towards transport costs for patients and an accompanying family member to travel to treatment centres. 

Infrastructure – The fund will solicit applications from hospitals and treatment centres with a genuine need to invest in patient facilities.

Awareness – This will fund activities dedicated to raising awareness about prevention, treatment options etc.
