This year's Radiothon will help us fund the following projects to support cancer services at the Hospital:

  • Continuing Refurbishment of Patient single rooms in Ward 2D (Isolation Ward) – to improve the environment for long stay patients (patients who spend 3-6 months in hospital due to the illness).
  • Equipment to help with the treatment of Lymphoedema in Breast cancer patients.
  • An additional CT scanner which will help with the early detection of cancer.
  • Endobronchial Ultrasound Diagnostic equipment – this will assist with the early detection of lung cancer and reduces the need for surgical intervention.
  • Mole Mapping Machine - this will help in monitoring existing patients with skin cancer and the diagnosis of new patients.
  • Refurbishment of Patient Clinic Rooms in the Oncology area.
  • Development of cancer awareness programmes for patients in the early detection & prevention of cancer.
