Head and Neck Cancer Support Network
No one faces head and neck cancer alone
We connect, support and advocate for people affected by head and neck cancer.
We focus on promoting early detection and timely treatment of head and neck cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand. We stand together with all those affected by head and neck cancer, acknowledging that certain barriers lead to inequalities, particularly impacting Māori and Pacific peoples, as well as those living in socioeconomically deprived areas, disabled individuals, and those in rural regions. By working together, we strive to overcome these challenges and ensure equitable access to care and support for everyone. Join our community to follow us and our work.
