• An Elekta Harmony Pro linear accelerator, one of the most advanced radiotherapy systems available globally
• A modern, patient-centred chemotherapy suite, designed for comfort, safety, and continuity of care
• Multidisciplinary collaboration between radiation therapy teams and resident oncologists

By appointing South Coast Oncology as resident oncologists, Icon Oncology ensures that patients benefit from consistent specialist oversight, personalised treatment planning, and continuity throughout every phase of their cancer journey.

For many patients, accessing oncology care previously meant travelling to Durban CBD or other major cities, adding emotional, physical, and financial strain at an already difficult time. The Sapphire Coast Oncology Centre directly addresses this challenge.

The presence of South Coast Oncology at this Amanzimtoti facility significantly expands access to life-saving cancer treatment, allowing patients to receive world-class oncology care closer to where they live, work, and receive family support.

This new centre services patients from the following areas:

• Athlone Park
• Umbogintwini
• Kingsburgh
• Doonside
• Winklespruit
• Umkomaas
• Scottburgh
• Pennington
• Umlazi
• Kwamakhutha
• Montclair
• The Bluff
• Lamontville

For patients searching online for an oncologist in Durban or an oncologist near you, this development brings specialist cancer care within easy reach of the South Coast and inland southern communities.

South Coast Oncology is founded on clinical excellence, empathy, and patient-centred care. Dr Nontokozo Gina and Dr Qhamisa Mbalo are both renowned oncologists with over a decade of experience managing complex cancer cases across public and private healthcare environments.

Speaking on the opening of the new centre, Dr Mbalo explains:
“This centre offers a truly integrated approach. By having chemotherapy and radiation therapy in one place, we can streamline each patient’s journey, reduce stress, and ensure continuity of care.”

Dr Gina adds:
“Every space has been designed with the patient in mind—from the calming treatment rooms to shorter appointment times and a warm, supportive environment. We want our patients to feel seen, safe, and cared for throughout their treatment.”

This philosophy aligns seamlessly with Icon Oncology’s commitment to innovation, quality, and patient dignity.
