CANCER RESEARCH

For the past 20 years, we have been committed towards advancing cancer research in providing research funds and grants to make life-changing scientific discoveries.

In 2021, the annual MAKNA Cancer Research Award (MCRA), initiated in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) were conducted via online platform.

Volunteers

Our volunteers are the key drive force helping us cast a wider net and extend support to a larger group of cancer patients as they undergo treatment encompassing communities from all parts of the country.

Volunteers from the states moved from one location to another to deliver food aid under our Food Packs Assistance to cancer patients who were affected by the pandemic. Moreover, annual activities such as Volunteer Appreciation Day (VAD) and MAKNA Founder’s Run were carried out virtually via online platform.
