A new private oncology and haematology clinic designed to treat up to 450 patients each year will be officially opened in Tauranga this week.
Canopy Cancer Care has two clinics in Auckland and has opened new premises at 850 Cameron Rd. The official opening will be on July 6.
The service will supplement the public cancer centre by providing cancer patients with the option of access to cancer drugs and treatments not available in the public system.
Four local oncologists will deliver some of the latest oncology chemo and immunotherapy treatments.
The Tauranga oncologists have teamed up with Auckland's Canopy Cancer Care which contributes the necessary systems, admin support, and access to Canopy's sourcing networks and programmes.
