European treatment conditions at the Oncological Institute

European treatment conditions for patients suffering from different types of cancer. The chemotherapy day hospital at the Oncology Institute has been renewed. Thus, the only chemotherapy department in Moldova was renovated and equipped with modern equipment. 15 million lei, money allocated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Protection, were spent for the repair of the chemotherapy day hospital together with the operating room, which will be ready by the end of the year.

Currently, the day hospital at the Oncology Institute looks like many European hospitals. The procedure rooms are spacious and furnished with modern furniture. Up to 60 patients come every day.

Patients receiving in-day chemotherapy treatment are delighted with the new conditions.

Medical workers say they have been waiting for these upgrades for years.

Patients with different types of cancer from all over the country come for treatment. Last year, 7,800 patients benefited from inpatient chemotherapy services.

"The repair was made in the chemotherapy station, it was equipped with 15 armchairs intended for chemotherapy procedures, all the furniture was renewed. We have a fairly large flow of patients receiving treatment," said Ionela Clipca, head of department.

In the Republic of Moldova, cancer is the second leading cause of death from circulatory diseases. In 2018, there were almost 84,000 cancer patients, and last year malignant tumors took the lives of over six thousand people.
