The National Cancer Society of Malaysia has officially launched its Resource and Wellness Centre in Kuala Lumpur on 31 March 2003. The Centre aims to provide a relaxed and friendly environment and offers a holistic approach to the care of cancer patients.

Why the need?

Support and information are essential guiding tools for a person when diagnosed with cancer. Our mission is to enable individuals to empower themselves through learning wellness and life affirming strategies, as well as providing user friendly information about mainstream medicine, complementary treatments and new developments in cancer.

Services on offer:
The following is a brief description of some of the services we have established:

• Support Groups:
  Research indicates the great healing benefits of support groups in assisting people through life crises.
  
• Self Help and Healing Services:
  Many complementary therapies can be used to manage stress and pain. We have a specially designed therapy room and qualified professionals to conduct treatments including massage, meditation and exercise classes.
  
• Nutrition Review Service:
  While no particular diet is guaranteed to prevent cancer, being better informed about the foods we eat can lead to healthier eating habits. At the centre we will have trained dietitians who will help patients manage their diets whilst undergoing treatment.
  
• Counselling:
  The counselling service aims to provide assistance to those confronted with a cancer diagnosis. Trained counselors will be on hand to help identify strategies to deal with feelings of fear and confusion and related conflicts or problems in a supportive and confidential environment.

The Centre is a "drop-in" center. Feel free to relax and browse through our resources or talk to any of our staff.
