Cancer Care Welfare Foundation (CCWF), Started in 1982, with a few people under a 'wooden hut' in the hospital premises of the National Cancer Institute, Maharagama, Sri Lanka, has been providing services for poor cancer patients and their families all over the country for three decades. The first years of service has been continued in a Buddhist social service structure,

We started to provide shelter and food, free of charge, to the patients and their family members who were in need. After a few years, we extended our services by providing medication, medical equipments to the hospital and daily needs for patients.

Our founders worked hard to develop our welfare center and facilities, collecting dry rations and medical drugs walking door to door and shop to shop, without mass media publicity.

The unfortunate situation here is the poverty of the families of the patients. We have identified some patients lacking of financial support to buy expensive medicines which are not available in the hospital, which cost Rs.3000 to Rs.10000 or more. Some patients in the I.C.U. wards which have to be provided such drugs daily for one week to one month or more to survive. In this kind of situations CCWF coordinate our donors and well-wishers to contribute to buy medicines as soon as possible.

Suwamansala Home- සුවමංසල නිවහන CCWF has openned above Suwamansala Home (සුවමංසල නිවහන) in the year of 2015 and this Home has been specially designed for special patients those who get dailly treatments from Apeksha Hospital, Maharagama.
