Ensuring Efficient Patient Support:
- Referral System: A well-established referral network exists between the KCPF and social service partners at the Kuwait Center for Cancer Control and Social Services (KCCSCS). Social workers identify patients in need and direct their requests to the KCPF committee for evaluation.
- Rigorous Assessment: To ensure proper allocation of resources, the Palliative Care Center and Patient Aid Fund Society meticulously review each patient’s medical reports.
- Individualized Support: Funding decisions are not based on a one-size-fits-all approach. The KCPF committee carefully considers factors such as X-rays and medical examinations. It is to tailor their support to each patient’s specific needs.
- Holistic Approach: The KCPF goes beyond purely medical needs. For patients who wish to return to their home countries, the fund provides assistance with acquiring travel tickets, demonstrating a commitment to comprehensive patient well-being.
This structured approach allows the KCPF to deliver essential aid to a significant number of cancer patients in Kuwait, offering them crucial support during a challenging time.
