Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand

Welcome to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand! Located in Auckland on Tawa Drive, our institution is a point of interest for all those seeking support, information, and resources related to prostate cancer.

At our establishment, we prioritize the health and well-being of men diagnosed with prostate cancer. We understand the importance of good information in improving outcomes and patient experiences. That's why we are dedicated to providing accurate and up-to-date information to both patients and their families.

One of our remarkable stories involves Ross Burrows, a former Medical Chief in the Royal New Zealand Navy. When Ross joined a fitness class for men with prostate cancer, he never expected to reunite with an old friend. This heartwarming Navy friendship rekindled his spirit and motivated him to learn more about the urological condition he was facing.

In addition to our commitment to education and support, we also engage in fundraising efforts for cancer research and prostate cancer awareness. Maurice Bevin, a prostate cancer patient, is using his trip back to New Zealand to not only see his oncologist but also raise funds for cancer research. We believe that through these initiatives, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by prostate cancer.

The recently released PCOR-ANZ Annual Report highlights the need for an improved pathway to prostate cancer diagnosis in New Zealand. While early and accurate diagnosis has been proven to save lives and enhance the quality of care, there is still work to be done. We strive to advocate for better healthcare outcomes for Kiwi men and support initiatives that promote early detection.

As the holiday season approaches, we want to remind Kiwi men that the best gift they can give to their health may just be a little prick. Regular screening and early detection can be the difference between life and death. We are here to provide the necessary information and resources to help men make informed decisions about their health.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005. We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those affected by prostate cancer in our community. Join us in our mission to raise awareness, support patients, and improve healthcare outcomes for Kiwi men.
