Oncology Programme
The Oncology Programme is specifically designed to actively empower patients. Participants on this programme generally have a more positive attitude and approach to treating their condition and improving general wellness. This positive attitude often translates into improved treatment compliance and a healthier lifestyle, which can make a real difference in the way patients respond to treatment and your general quality of life.
Care Coach
The programme offers direct access to a specialised oncology care coach. The care coach will work closely with the patient the doctor and the oncologist to ensure co-ordinated care.
Scheme Benefits
Most types of cancer are covered under prescribed minimum benefits (PMB's), this offers complete coverage as long as it complies with legislation. The Care Coach can advise on these requirements.
