Regional Cancer Networks

The networks are bringing together district health boards(DHBs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community organisations, consumers, Māori and Pacific groups. The Ministry of Health is working closely with DHBs and the wider cancer control community to establish the networks.

Together they will ensure organisations and people work with each other to plan and co-ordinate services within each region.

The networks are committed to improving the journey for cancer patients, their carers and whānau. Over time they will become the engine room for achieving the goals of the Cancer Control Strategy.
