Patients are admitted to the oncology department for various reasons, such as investigation and imaging tests, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, symptom management, supportive care, and treatment of complications or emergencies related to cancer.
Our approach to treatment involves addressing not only the physical and psychological aspects but also the social and economic concerns of our patients. We prioritize their dignity, comfort, and privacy, and our nursing and medical staff actively listens and builds personal connections to deliver high-quality care.
Each doctor is assigned a specific number of patients per day, and there is a daily rotation of doctors to ensure familiarity with all hospitalized patients. Our nursing staff is trained to treat patients with radiating tumors, and most of them have completed a basic oncology course.
At the beginning of each shift, we update the board behind the reception desk with the names of the nurses and the room numbers they are responsible for.
In addition to the medical team, we have social workers, dietitians, and physiotherapists available for your service. For information on alternative medical services, please click here.
To obtain information about your medical condition, you can arrange to meet with the treating doctor during the daily visit or later in the day. Please note that we only provide information to the patient or immediate family members. You can also schedule a meeting with the Charge Nurse by appointment.
We offer different types of rooms, including those for two patients and single patient rooms for isolation or special medical needs. Our well-trained medical staff is equipped to handle various conditions, including patients with radiating tumors.
If you require any information about your medical condition, our attending physician will be happy to discuss it with you or your immediate family members. You can also schedule a meeting with the Charge Nurse for any specific concerns.
Please be aware that room assignments may change based on departmental needs, but rest assured that your well-being is always our priority.
