Princess Maxima Center / Prinses Maxima Centrum

The Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology is a unique initiative of parents of children with cancer and professionals in pediatric oncology in the Netherlands to combine all top expertise in care and research in one national center. This is necessary because cancer is still the most common cause of death from disease at a young age and the cure rate has barely increased in the past 10 years. Concentrating the treatment and research of all forms of childhood cancer in one center is an essential step towards better quality and higher survival rates.

The Princess Máxima Center treats every child with cancer in the Netherlands. Children who dream of a future. From fashion designer to winning a Nobel Prize. Discover how you too can make Their children dream.

The Foundation contributes to all essential extra facilities for children and families in the Máxima, which are not reimbursed by the health insurer, and to necessary research to ensure that Their children can continue to dream.

Mission:
They depend on donations to help Their children dream. Because the more financial support Máxima receives, the more new perspectives on healing Their healthcare professionals and researchers can develop together. Every year about 600 children in the Netherlands get cancer. 75% of these children are cured, 25% die. That is 150 children too many every year.
