INITIATIVES & IMPACT

VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer focuses on Research, Medical Care, Education, and Survivorship—saving more lives today while empowering young survivors to thrive tomorrow.

Our Primary Focus Areas

Medical Care

Partnering top tier institutions to develop advanced facilities and care systems such as the VIVA-NUH Children's Cancer Centre which was funded by VIVA through our donors.

We also supported the VIVA-KKH Paediatric Brain and Solid Tumour Programme, a collaborative clinical and research partnership between VIVA, KKH and St Jude Children’s Research Hospital to seek advancements in childhood brain and solid tumours.

Research

Driving cutting-edge childhood cancer research by working with local hospitals and running our own VIVA Research Lab, led by our Scientific Research Director. The lab gives scientists and doctors a philanthropic platform to collaborate and innovate— using state-of-the-art technology to find faster, more accessible cures.

Education

Empowering doctors, nurses and care-providers through training and knowledge sharing. Some initiatives include:
· The St. Jude-VIVA Forum in Paediatric Oncology
· VIVA Cell and Gene Therapy Symposium
· St. Jude-VIVA Survivorship Webinar Series

Survivorship

We support childhood cancer patients and survivors in getting back on their feet and contributing back to society as healthy and equipped individuals, through 5 areas :

Food - Nourishing the Body, Fueling Recovery
Movement - Empowering Health Through Activity
Emotional Wellness - Building Resilience for the Future
Academic & Career Growth - Personalised Learning and Growth Opportunities
Sleep - Sleep Well, Feel Better

Our St Jude-VIVA Survivorship webinar series aims to bring together international experts to educate healthcare professionals on the best practices and standard of care on childhood cancer survivorship.
