Prostate Cancer Foundation National Conference 2024

Empowering prostate health: hope and progress in a dynamic healthcare landscape

As our efforts to bolster early detection remain a key focus, a new government brings change, and opportunities. We invite you to join us in Christchurch where, with healthcare professionals, patients and families, and leading players in the prostate cancer ecosystem, we will facilitate thoughtful discussion and answer pressing questions, as we continue to chart a path forward for prostate cancer care in Aotearoa New Zealand. We look forward to seeing you there, in-person or online.
