Our halfway houses provide short-term accommodation for patients and their caregivers travelling away from home for treatment.
Halfway House
Our halfway houses are free-of-charge and located close to government hospitals which provide radiotherapy or chemotherapy services. Patients can have a comfort stay to rest after undergoing the treatment without having to worry about the cost of travel.
