Oddział onkologii w tej placówce został zlikwidowany 3 i pół miesiąca temu, ale po protestach rodziców małych pacjentów, zapadła decyzja o wznowieniu jego działalności.
Jak informuje reporterka RMF FM Anna Kropaczek, nowy oddział będzie realizował świadczenia z zakresu onkologii i hematologii dziecięcej w ramach hospitalizacji oraz chemioterapii, ale na razie tylko w trybie jednodniowym, bez dłuższego pobytu w szpitalu.
Oznacza to, że mali pacjenci będą mogli przyjmować chemioterapię i inne niezbędne zabiegi w ciągu jednego dnia, po czym wrócą do domu.
Placówka ma nadzieję na rozszerzenie zakresu świadczeń w przyszłości – niektóre konkursy ogłoszone przez NFZ nie zostały jeszcze rozstrzygnięte.
