What is Cancer Care
Cancer Care Coordination is a vital service designed to support individuals and their whānau through all stages of the cancer care continuum.
The primary goal of Cancer Care Coordination is to improve cancer survival rates for Māori by providing comprehensive guidance, advocacy, and support throughout their healthcare journey.
This service is crucial in reducing the trauma of a cancer diagnosis, minimizing delays in care, increasing treatment completion, and improving survival rates.
