## TL;DR

The health ministry of Solomon Islands, which runs the National Referral Hospital and requested the help that set up the country's cancer treatment unit.

## Summary

Known to OnCo from papers: authors at the National Referral Hospital give their affiliation as the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, and a 2023 paper in JCO Global Oncology says the Ministry's request led Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to arrange the 2018 mission that commissioned the hospital's medical oncology unit. The Ministry's site (mohms.gov.sb) did not answer, so OnCo has no description of its cancer programmes. The coordinates are an approximate Honiara city point.
