Southern Cross Healthcare
Cancer Care

Every year approximately 26,000* New Zealanders are diagnosed with cancer. With our aging and growing population, it is estimated that the number of New Zealanders receiving a cancer diagnosis will reach 52,500 by 2040**. Cancer effects everyone in different ways and Southern Cross Healthcare offers care across diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

The nationwide network of Southern Cross Healthcare providers cover screening and treatment to rehabilitation and survivorship; supporting people with cancer in the following ways:

• Our joint venture partnerships with Waitemata Endoscopy (Auckland), Southern Cross Specialist Centre (Wellington), The Rutherford Clinic (Wellington) and Southern Endoscopy (Christchurch) specialise in gastrointestinal cancer screening and diagnostics.
• Surgery is often needed as part of the treatment and management of cancer. Our hospitals located around New Zealand are here to provide the very best care during this time.
• Rehabilitation to maintain function and independence can play a crucial role in wellbeing and recovery and our joint venture partners, Active+ and TBI Health, offer extensive services to support people to get back to doing what they need and want to do.
• Raise, another Southern Cross Healthcare joint venture partner, delivers mental health and wellbeing support and counselling nationwide.
