Santarém District Hospital will now have the country's first modular room for the preparation of cytotoxic medications. This infrastructure represents a pioneering solution for the health unit.
The modular room will allow a significant increase in the capacity for preparing these specialized medications. Until now, the existing conditions limited the volume of treatments that could be prepared.
The cytotoxic medications prepared in this room are used in oncology treatments. The new infrastructure aims to improve working conditions and safety in the handling of these drugs.
The project emerges in response to the need to expand oncology services in the district of Santarém, providing better care to patients who need chemotherapy.
