All children diagnosed with cancer will be transferred to the Bahrain National Oncology Centre within the next two weeks for treatment, Government Hospitals deputy chief executive Dr Raja Al Yousef said during the inauguration of a specialised head and neck cancer awareness platform at Avenues Mall yesterday.
The centre will become the main venue for treating both adults and children suffering from cancer in Bahrain, she clarified to our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej.
The role of Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC) will be limited to diagnosing cases through specialised committees, she added, noting that co-operation with the Oncology Centre has been going on since its inception by implementing a carefully designed three-phase plan focused on gradually transferring patients to receive treatment at the centre.
