VIVA University Children’s Cancer Centre

With the generous support of our donors, VIVA established the VIVA‑University Children’s Cancer Centre (VUC³) at National University Hospital (NUH) to enhance treatment for complex paediatric cancers and leukaemias. Officially opened by Khaw Boon Wan on 4 March 2009, VUC³ became VIVA’s first hub of excellence in paediatric oncology.

Housed within NUH, VUC³ offers a comprehensive range of treatments, including advanced cellular therapies, and features a 16‑bed Day Therapy Centre devoted to outpatient chemotherapy. The centre comprises outpatient clinics, a Day Therapy Centre for chemotherapy, and an inpatient unit with beds, stem‑cell transplant rooms and isolation facilities.

In 2024, VUC³ continued its mission to provide exceptional care for children with cancer, serving 83 patients and recording 501 inpatient visits and 5,837 outpatient visits. Between 2018 and 2024, the centre administered 81 CAR‑T therapy products to 51 children, some receiving multiple infusions such as CAR‑T CD19 and CD22. Of these children, nine benefited from funding through the VIVA‑Goh HJ Fund between February 2021 and December 2024.
