Who we are

We are a social service agency in Singapore that advocates for early breast cancer detection and provides psycho-social support for patients & caregivers. We are also committed to raising public awareness of breast cancer.

The BCF Story

Even as early as the 1960s, breast cancer was a rising concern among women in Singapore. The number of breast cancer cases rose sharply and significantly straight to the 90s.

Mrs. Catherine Ng was among the few survivors who triumphed over the disease. Two things she learnt: breast cancer was not incurable; support during recovery was vital.

With her real life experience, Catherine decided that she would offer breast cancer patients the support they needed to overcome this malignancy.

In 1997, Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) was founded. The self-funded agency was dedicated to combating breast cancer in Singapore.

More importantly, BCF was set up to bring hope & support to patients & their families.

Minimise breast cancer. Maximise lives.

To advocate early detection of breast cancer and support our breast cancer community.
