Westpac contributes $10,000 to the Fiji Cancer Society

Westpac has contributed $10,000 to the Fiji Cancer Society in support of cancer education and patient care.

Westpac Fiji Chief Executive, Kip Hanna says they are proud to contribute towards the advocacy around cancer awareness and patient support through the Fiji Cancer Society.

Hanna says it is important that they show support to cancer patients and their caregivers.

Hanna says Westpac staff come together each year to raise funds for cancer education and patient care, and the Bank matches the amount.

This year, Westpac is making the donation instead and the staff are looking forward to resuming fundraising activities next year.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Fiji Cancer Society, Belinda Chan says cancer is a disease that has touched many and the generous support from Westpac will allow the Society to improve its cancer education programs and improve patient care, in particular for those requiring palliative care services.
