Do you know what CCC stands for? It stands for the Lady Pao Children's Cancer Centre at Prince of Wales Hospital of the Chinese University of Hong Kong . Since its opening in Shatin in 1984, the hospital has always had a children's cancer unit. The opening of the Children's Cancer Centre in 1995 signified a new landmark in the treatment of children's cancer. Our guiding principle is to provide quality service through accurate diagnosis and effective treatment in conjunction with all the specialist departments in the hospital to help child patients regain their health so that they can grow up to be useful members of the society.

The Centre is situated at the 2/F of the Sir Yue Kong Pao Centre for Cancer. It has 28 beds including four beds for bone marrow transplant. About half of the children who suffer from cancer or blood disease in Hong Kong are being treated in the Centre. Most of paediatric bone marrow transplants, including cord blood and stem cell transplants in Hong Kong are carried out in the Centre's Bone Marrow Transplant Unit.
