Why does Medibank have the chemotherapy in the home program?
The diagnosis of cancer and enduring the treatments that follow can be an emotional and stressful time for patients and their families.
It is not only the patient's health that is impacted; they are also faced with big decisions about their treatment and care, have to spend a significant amount of time in hospital, and travelling to and from medical appointments. Often too ill to drive or take public transport, these patients sometimes have to rely on a support network of carers to get to these appointments.
