The Ray of Hope Patient Care Fund

In adult blood cancer patients whose conditions are under control and are regularly assessed by their doctors, continuing with the same effective treatment as basic standard of care is often necessary.

The Patient Care Fund is a partnership between Ray of Hope [ROH] and Johnson & Johnson Pte Ltd to provide partial financial assistance (up to $1600/month) to eligible adult blood cancer patients who are affected by the national cancer policy changes from 1 September 2022.
