The unit is expected to be commissioned by June 2022 and will ensure that public patients across the Health Network will have the same level of service that is available in Adelaide.
David Parkin OAM said:
“Prostate cancer remains the largest cause of death among blokes, with survivorship in regional communities being well below the national average. Early detection, local diagnosis and treatment is a game changer for men and the people who love them”.
The district has a number of Lions clubs that are within the surrounding areas that could well be accessing this unit.
District Lions Clubs include: Boolaroo Centre & District, Cowell, Jamestown, Kimba, Orroroo & District, Port Pirie, Port Augusta, Peterborough & District, Quorn, Rocky River, Whyalla, Whyalla Mount Laura, and Wudinna.
