Modern Medical Technology in Camagüey |
|
|
Monday, September 17, 2018
Havana.- The health services in the eastern Cuban province of Camagüey have benefited from the modernization of the Radiotherapy equipment at the Maria Curie Oncology Hospital.
The new technology will reduce the waiting time for patients to access this treatment, which is essential in the fight against cancer.
Currently, with another piece of equipment of that kind that was installed recently, it takes one month, from consultation after the diagnosis is made to the prescription of the therapy and the beginning of treatment.
Coupled with this, the incorporation of a brachytherapy device is expected to administer radiation in cavities such as the female reproductive system, and superficial therapies.
The hospital treated some 4,800 patients in the Radiotherapy service in 2017, while so far in 2018, that figure is 4,300 patients.
