Background ▪ 25-35% of all new drugs being made for oncology patients are coming out as oral drugs ▪ Patients need a safe, reliable, accessible and affordable environment that is tightly integrated into their overall cancer care ▪ Community clinics over the years have opened up facilities within their clinics to provide these services instead of the patients having to rely on specialty pharmacies and other retail pharmacies
