The child’s cancer services in Wellington are going to be shared with the Canterbury District Health Board.

While giving a statement, Capital and Coast District Health Board said that it will meet with parents and families of kids who are suffering from cancer in order to inform them of the details of the care arrangements that will be shared.

The meeting lined up for toady would offer details on how the new arrangements would operate in between the two centers and it is specifically going to give details on which particular service will be offered in every area.

Ever since June in previous year, the DHB’s service has been downgraded for interim term to secondary service, after two permanent pediatric oncologists, Christian Katz and Mwe Mwe Chao gave their resignation.

The downgrade seen has compelled kids and families to travel to Christchurch and Auckland to get diagnosis done and other complex treatments sometimes forced to stay there for months at a stretch.

Sarah Strandjord, locum child cancer expert, has been at Capital & Coast, letting the services being offered in order to provide easy-maintenance treatments like chemotherapy.

Due to successive resignations, child care services at Wellington have remained battered for almost a decade.
