The Kyiv City Clinical Oncology Center purchased medical equipment worth a total of UAH 30 million in 2022, the acting director of the oncology center Alexander Klusov said.
“In total, we purchased equipment worth 30 million UAH,” he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
Klusov said that, in particular, “with the personal support of Mayor Vitaly Klitschko, the health department of the KSCA purchased two modern powerful linear gas pedals for radiotherapy for the cancer center in 2022.”
“Thus, we already have five linear gas pedals. In order to install this equipment, two bunkers had to be renovated. Construction work is underway to renovate the bunkers to install this high-tech equipment, which is scheduled to be completed in early May,” he said.
Klusov said there are plans to create a radiology center at the oncology center in 2023.
“We are planning to create one of the most powerful radiological clinics in Ukraine, which will work at full capacity in 2023. The launch of the radiology center will increase the number of patients by almost 75% and reduce the waiting period from one month to one week,” Klusov emphasized.
As previously reported, the Kyiv City Clinical Oncology Center will admit about 30 thousand patients in 2022.
