GCC & Underprivileged patients

King Hussein Cancer centres treat an increasing number of patients from Gulf cooperation countries (GCC) who travel to Jordan seeking specialist cancer treatment.

Due to its expert medical care, attractive price and the language barrier being significantly less than other destinations, they are a prime target for medical tourism within the gulf.

KHCC will also receive many disadvantaged patients from countries such as Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Yemen who are suffering from serious conflict and may not have access to vital cancer treatment facilities anywhere else.

Patient support groups

The KHCC has several support groups in place that are very successful in improving the state of mind of current patients undergoing cancer treatment.

The support groups comprise of both current and past patients as well as volunteers, providing emotional support even after the treatment ends. Groups like this have a hugely positive effect as current cancer sufferers are shown what life after treatment is like and have a wealth of positive mental attitudes surrounding them. There are three groups:

  • SANAD Group - For breast cancer survivors
  • Amal Group- For parents whose children have cancer
  • Basma Group - For KHCC cancer patients

New Buildings

In September 2017, KHCC unveiled their new expansion consisting of an inpatient tower and a separate outpatient building. This expansion doubled the capacity of their existing Jordan centre and helped provide more advanced spaces for research, education and patient care. These new improvements further established the King Hussein Cancer Foundation as the leading facility within the Middle East for cancer treatment.
