The indications and treatment regimen are determined by the Multidisciplinary Oncology Council of the Oncology Institute, following an initial assessment and, if necessary, a reassessment of the patient. Only treatments that can be administered safely will be provided in Bălți.
Prior to the launch of the service, the hospital’s medical staff were trained in the administration of chemotherapy, patient monitoring and the management of any adverse reactions.
The expansion of services is part of an initiative by the Ministry of Health and the Oncology Institute to bring treatment closer to patients, reducing the need for regular journeys to Chișinău, as well as the physical and financial burden borne by patients and their families.
A similar model is already in place in the district hospitals in Briceni, Cahul, Florești, Orhei, Sîngerei, Ștefan Vodă, Anenii Noi and Soroca.
The Ministry of Health plans to further expand access to cancer treatment across the country, subject to the availability of trained staff and the necessary conditions for the safe delivery of treatment.
