The Netcare Oncology & Interventional Centre is a state of the art facility and is situated at Netcare N1 City Hospital, Cape Town. The centre consists of several departments including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, nuclear medicine and a high tech interventional theatre. Due to fortunate circumstances Netcare and Symington & Partners Radiology collaborated to build the first interventional MRI and CT theatre in Africa.
The theatre will be used by neurosurgeons to do more complete resection of brain tumours. The interventional theatre is not exclusive for the use of Netcare N1 City Hospital neurosurgeons. It should rather be seen as a national asset.
