The controversy surrounding the National Oncology Institute in Prague is disappearing, said the chairwoman of the professional society – ČT24 – Czech Television
The state plans to invest in the treatment of cancer, namely the construction of the National Oncology Institute in Prague for seven billion crowns. He should combine research with treatment, the top of the field will work in it.
“It should not only bring another oncology department, it should bring a really different structure of care provision. To be built within one hospital around an oncology patient, “said David Cibula from the General University Hospital in Prague.
Opinions on a possible institute were originally divided by experts, according to some it would be more appropriate to build more smaller regional centers. The chairwoman of the Oncology Society of Jana Prausová Česká stated that the idea was perceived by doctors as controversial, mainly due to insufficient debate. “It was sad that it threatens the center care, which is spread throughout the country. We explained that there is no danger, “she said.
Although the amount is seven billion, technologies for the treatment of oncological diseases are very expensive. Thus, there would be no giant institute that would extract specialists from the regions, but facilities with about two hundred beds. “I think that together, despite different opinions on the use of the capacity that will increase in Prague, we will go together,” said Prausová.
