Australia and New Zealand are also facing a great challenge in the detection and treatment of colorectal cancer, Gastrointestinal (GI) and bowel screening procedures. This is in part due to meet the increasing demand for physicians and nurses to handle the associated administrative procedures more efficiently, and manage patient data more accurately and effectively.
