CSCK – Cancer Support Community of Kosovo (Kosovo)


Scope of organisation
BLOOD CANCER support organisation (non-CLL specific)
Description
Formed in March 2018, at CSCK we aim to raise awareness of cancer and offer support and information to patients, families and healthcare professionals across Kosovo. We campaign to increase the quality of life and make treatments available to those affected by the condition. Our interests are blood cancers and particularly myelodysplastic syndromes. Using our networks and national and international collaborations we aim to be the biggest cancer support platform in Kosovo by 2020.
