Free Wig Programme
A common side effect of chemotherapy is loss of hair which would impact self-confidence. Some patients choose to wear wigs to maintain a good shape. However, quality wigs can be costly and may be out of reach for breast cancer patients with financial constraints.
With the generous support of Wonderful Knots Foundation, Fifth Avenue and Pearlcoin Medijoy Foundation Limited, the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation (HKBCF) has launched the free wig programme to facilitate the access to wigs by financially underprivileged breast cancer patients. Interested individuals need to meet certain criteria and submit an application for assessment.
For more details of the programme and the application process, please contact the responsible nurse or 2525 6033 (Hong Kong Centre) / 2597 3251 (Jocky Club Breast Health Centre (Kowloon)) for more information.
In addition, members of the HKBCF can enjoy special discounts when purchasing wigs, breast prostheses and other related products from the following companies. Please contact them directly for more details.
