I  am  pleased  to  welcome  you  to  the  Chronic  Care Center. Founded  in 1994, this Center is the result of countless generous efforts. It has succeeded  in giving  human  comfort  to  a  continuously  increasing number  of  children  suffering  from  chronic  diseases  too  hard  to  handle by  them and  their  families. Here, the patient  is  at  the  center of everything we do. All  the  services  are  at  his  disposal  and  all  the  activities  are  organized for his benefit. The Chronic Care Center’s family has grown to include on June 2006, 1740 youngsters, 1110 of whom are insulin-dependent diabetics and 630 thalassemics. They are provided with an optimal medical care and follow-up with ongoing psychosocial orientation to help them cope with their chronic condition.

Keeping abreast with developments in clinical research, the Center also worked with great efforts to promote its preventive role. Through its genetic counseling, educational programs and awareness campaigns, the Center aims to increase the understanding of the biological basis of diseases, reduce risks and complications and contribute in building up healthy generations.

Treating today's diseases and promoting tomorrow's health is the mission of the Center.

On behalf of the women and men who comprise the Board of Trustees of the Chronic Care Center, I thank all the people who have supported this mission and have given hope to so many children.
