“The regional Oncological and Hemato-oncological Network – underlines the president Bonaccini– it is an opportunity for our health care because it was born in a reality with structured and organized Oncology and Hematology, which already represent excellence. But with this model we take our healthcare a further step forward, continuing to guarantee universally and fairly both highly complex assistance, with high skills and technological impact, and assistance close to the patient’s home. And this is precisely what we want: to bring the treatments, under the same conditions of efficacy and safety, to homes or community hospitals, right up to the patient’s home”.
“The one against cancer – adds the commissioner Donini– it’s a battle that regional health care continues to consider a priority and that we want to carry on with all the tools at our disposal. For this reason, with the regional Oncological and Hemato-oncological Network, a ‘new era’ begins, in which we give substance, as well as form, to an innovative paradigm for our regional health service: one in which treatment and assistance are integrated between the hospital and the territory”.
