The incidence of cancer is increasing globally, and Sri Lanka is no exception. Radiotherapy which has been recognized as the single most important type of oncological treatment for cancer patients, is only available at six oncology units in the country [1]. Therefore, patients of DGH Hambantota requiring radiotherapy treatment were referred to TH Karapitiya and Apeksha Hospital Maharagama, leading to a significant proportion defaulted from radiotherapy treatment (80%). The team at DGH Hambantota recognized two major issues responsible for default follow up of oncology patients requiring radiotherapy treatment; inability to travel to referred hospitals due to poor socioeconomic status of patients and long waiting time at referred hospitals. This project has minimized the percentage of defaulted patients requiring radiotherapy treatment from 80% to 11.11% (n = 84) following a year after the implementation of the project.
