In 2011, Far East Organisation generously gave VIVA Foundation the 3rd floor of the Novena Specialist Centre in order to help children with cancer. The Hub was officially opened by First Lady Mrs Mary Tan in March 2013.

VIVA Hub has grown into a multifaceted haven offering everything our beneficiaries need to thrive. Our state-of-the-art VIVA Research Lab brings scientists and doctors together to accelerate breakthrough discoveries, while Learning Rooms 1 & 2 support our beneficiaries in their studies. The flexible VIVA Studio adapts seamlessly from intimate gatherings to large-scale events, and the vibrant Sparkle Room offers a joyful escape filled with games and laughter. We’ve created dedicated therapeutic spaces too—the Care Room provides private mental health support for adults, while Joy Room nurtures our youngest beneficiaries through counselling and play therapy. Cube Connect 1 & 2 round out our facilities with comfortable spaces for reading, study, and meaningful conversations. More than just a building, VIVA Hub is our promise that no child fights cancer alone — it is where we support childhood cancer survivors in living happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives after cancer, and where hope takes root every single day.

The St Jude-VIVA Forum is the combined effort of VIVA Foundation and the St Jude International Outreach Program. The forum is an education initiative which aims to provide an annual platform for paediatric oncologists to exchange information and to collaborate in research.

Held in Singapore during March each year, VIVA facilitates for the transfer of knowledge between countries on the latest and best practices in research and medical care for children with cancer. By doing so, VIVA believes in time to come, the developing countries will be able to attain the high cure rates seen in developed countries. Overall, this will mean more children with cancer standing a higher chance of cure and survival, regardless of geography.

Held since 2006, the St Jude-VIVA Forum is now being seen as one of the foremost meetings for paediatric oncologists in Asia, bringing together a growing number of delegates, to connect with world leaders in the field of paediatric oncology.

More than just a 2-day conference, the Forum has now grown into a 5-day program which includes additional workshops and collaboration meetings such as the Pre-Forum Workshop, VIVA-Asia specialised workgroups and for the first time in 2015, the VIVA-Asia Nursing Symposium and CCF-VIVA Learning Exchange. At the main forum itself, delegates also have the chance to interact with the world speakers through “Meet the Experts” sessions held throughout the Forum

The next Forum will be held in the end of March 2015. Registration can be done via the St Jude-VIVA Forum conference website.
