Oncology Programme

Designed to actively empower our cancer patients
Momentum Health Solutions

The Oncology Programme is specifically designed to actively empower our cancer patients. Participants on this programme generally have a more positive attitude and approach to treating their condition and improving their general wellbeing. 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 their general quality of life.

Society benefits

Most types of cancer are covered as prescribed minimum benefits (PMBs), which offers complete coverage as long as it complies with legislation.

The care coach will advise you on these requirements and on usage of your medical benefits.
