Advertisers
Nurses subscribe to our journal from almost every Endoscopy/Gastroenterology department in New Zealand. From feedback we've received, we believe it is widely read by Medical, Nursing and Administrative staff working in these departments. We feel the Tube offers an excellent forum to present product advances within gastroenterology and are always interested in these new developments.

- Full page black and white advertisement: $200.00 inclusive of GST
