Raising Awareness for Early Detection, Improved Treatment & Social Acceptance

ASHIC, Foundation for Childhood Cancer, is a non-profit organization in Bangladesh, serving the needs of children living with cancer. It was started in 1994 by Afzal & Salma Choudhury, after the untimely demise of their son Ashiq Husain Choudhury, who was only 3 years 3 months and 3 days old when he died of cancer after a year-long treatment in London.

 

Through the last 30+ years of service, ASHIC is now considered a center of excellence for pediatric oncology in South Asia, contributing directly to improved treatment services and better survival rates.

We Mourn

We deeply mourn the loss of ASHIC Foundation's Founder Chairperson, Mrs. Salma Choudhury, who dedicated more than 30 years of her life to build this organization. Her untimely loss to stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma leaves an indelible mark on everyone who knew her; especially her beloved family, which includes her husband Mr. Afzal H. Choudhury, her mother Mrs. Saleha Zaman, her children Asif and Maheen, their respective spouses Rifat and Adnan, and her grandchildren Saira,Arhan, Azaan and Aariz.
