About SAOC

The South African Oncology Consortium (SAOC) was established to facilitate cost-effective oncology treatment to the broader South African population.

In support of its objective, the SAOC has developed a "tiered" oncology treatment guideline in which chemotherapy and radiation therapy options are tailored to meet the financial constraints of the individual patient's healthcare insurance benefits.

This is supported by a comprehensive peer-to-peer and utilisation review program.

Represented in SAOC are members of the professional associations including the South African Society of Radiation and Clinical Oncologists (SASCRO), the South African Society of Medical Oncologists (SASMO) and the South African Society of Haematologists (SASH).

The SAOC is an unlisted public company and an accredited managed healthcare organisation.

SAOC also administers the accreditation of Anti-Neoplastic Therapy Facilities on behalf of the professional associations.
