For an organization it is important that peole can benefit from its existence therefore ICF continually takes steps:

• To expand the Indonesian Cancer Foundation at regional level through out the country
• To enchance the cooperation with government institution as well as local and foreign non-governmental organization in the field of cancer control

ICF has 26 chapters in all Indonesia provinces and network with Government and other social organizations. The main aim is to improve the health condition of the people, in particular the prevention of cancer.

ICF in cooperation with the Family Welfare Program, a grass root level women's organization, is assisting one of the Ministry of Health's projects, the Integrated Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (Program Penanggulangan Kanker Terpadu Paripurna). This model is based on the participation of society at large intended to expand health services to minimize the sufferings caused by cancer patients, and is a change from the hospital-based cancer control to community-based cancer control.

This department also organizes a regional meeting to be held every two years and a national meeting once in five years. ICE publishes its biannual magazine DIAN TANTRI, a publication reporting on its recent activities and up coming events.

Realizing the importance of cancer control and communication with foreign institutions, the ICE joined the Union lnternationale Contre le Cancer (UICC) in 1981. Two years later ICF became a member of the Asia and Pacific Federation of Organizations for Cancer Research and Control (APFOCC).
