WESTERN District Health Service (WDHS) has partnered with South West Healthcare (SWH) to help improve the close-to-home cancer specialist care with more frequent oncology visits to Hamilton.

From January next year, oncologist, Dr George Iatropoulos, will visit Hamilton on a weekly basis to provide quality care to people living with cancer in the local area.
