MAKNA’s Bursary (Financial Assistance) is intended for cancer patients in the lower income groups who are undergoing treatment at government hospitals. They can apply via their respective hospital’s Medical Social Welfare Department. Our financial aid is provided for purchasing necessities which include non-formulary drugs, milk supplements, surgical equipment, prostheses, colostomy bags as well as financial assistance for those who need them.
There was a 20% increase in application for assistance and 57% increase in amount disbursed during the pandemic as applications were made online, resulting in faster and more convenient approval.
