In line with its goals the Judy Cancer Foundation supports the following oncology related work at the Department of Internal Medicine and Haematology:

  • Financial support to research focusing on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer
  • Financial support to the publication of the presentation / publication of such research
  • Support of publications / events raising public awareness of cancer prevention and screening
  • Looking for fundraising ideas to support these aims
  • The ongoing education (conferences, course expenses, etc.) of medical staff (doctors, technicians, nurses) with the primary aim of continuously improving the work conditions related to patient care

The Judy Cancer Foundation primarily provides financial support for the activities listed above. Since many financial resources available to the University are constrained, the Foundation represents support across a wide spectrum of the areas outlined.
