Why is my support needed?
In the Netherlands, about 600 children are diagnosed with cancer every year. Most children are cured, but still 2 to 3 children die each week. That is unacceptable and must change.
At the Princess Máxima Center for pediatric oncology all children with cancer in the Netherlands are treated, and all childhood cancer research takes place here. Core care is reimbursed by health insurers and government. But everything needed to further improve treatments, accelerate groundbreaking research, and increase quality of life can only happen thanks to donors. That is why the Princess Máxima Center Foundation raises funds to accelerate our mission: to cure every child with cancer, with optimal quality of life.

- About the FoundationThe Princess Máxima Center relies on funding to continue improving treatments for children with cancer. As you might know, standard medical treatment in the Netherlands is covered by health insurance. However, much more is needed.This includes programs for children and families, sports and physical activity, mental support, distraction and well-being initiatives, and the ongoing search for even better treatments. These essential elements are not automatically funded.Significant financial support is required to make this possible. That is where the Foundation plays a crucial role.
