Overview
NOC is a privately owned cancer treatment, rehabilitation and research center, owned by a consortium of private individuals. NOC began serving the public with pharmacy, radiation, chemotherapy, and oncology rehabilitative services in 2015. Before that, patients who needed radiation, had to travel to South Africa to receive those services. The center's digital linear accelerator, is the first in the country and also serves private patients referred from neighboring countries, including Angola.[3] As of 2016, the cancer centre maintained a private in-patient ward with 12 beds.[4]
NOC was established in 2015, to complement and relieve the Dr AB May Cancer Treatment Centre at Windhoek Central Hospital, the largest public hospital in the country. It is also intended to reduce the number of private patients in Namibia seeking oncology services in neighboring South Africa.[4]
