What king hussein cancer foundation does

King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Amman, Jordan, is a non-governmental, non-profit foundation that operates the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) as its wholly-owned clinical subsidiary. KHCC is described as the only comprehensive cancer center in the Middle East treating both adult and pediatric patients and the first center in the developing world to receive international disease-specific cancer center accreditation, alongside JCI accreditation. The foundation is chaired by HRH Princess Ghida Talal, who in 2025 was named among OncoDaily's 100 Most Influential People in Oncology.

The clinical operation is built around multidisciplinary oncology care delivered at the main Amman facility, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy, and bone marrow transplantation, supported by specialty units such as the Cell Therapy and Applied Genomics (CTAG) lab (home to Jordan's only public umbilical cord stem cell bank), a neurosurgery suite with intraoperative MRI navigation and laser-based brain tumor treatment, six linear accelerators with real-time X-ray tracking, the regional first NanoKnife irreversible electroporation program, and an Early Detection Unit. The center runs 31 residency and fellowship programs and a Life Support Training Center affiliated with the American Heart Association, treating more than 6,000 new patients per year with the largest bone marrow transplant program in the Middle East at roughly 300 procedures annually.

Funding is hybrid: medical services are paid through insurance, direct payment, or charitable subsidy, augmented by a Cancer Care Insurance (CCI) product, while the foundation layer raises money through one-time and recurring donations, SMS donations, coin boxes, Zakat and Goodwill Funds, infrastructure/equipment donations, and corporate campaigns, plus US tax-deductible giving via KHCF USA (a 501(c)(3)). Distribution extends through the Amman campus, a southern satellite in Aqaba (first phase Q3 2024), an International Patient Services office, and a 2025 EU-funded CAR-T consortium partnership (MILenARI with IDIBAPS, American University of Beirut, and Bambino Gesù). An Ambulatory Care and Research Laboratories Building (commissioning Q3 2025) and a standalone King Hussein Children's Cancer Center (~140 beds, target 2027) are in the pipeline.
