Event Description

15 лютого. Міжнародний день онкохворих дітей

Не зважаючи на прогрес медицини та медичних технологій, рак залишається основною причиною смертності дітей. Завжди важко сприймати хвороби дітей, але медицина не стоїть на місці й постійно з'являються нові ліки та методи лікування. Сподіваємося, що в найближчому майбутньому вчені винайдуть ліки, які дозволять позбутися онкології назавжди.

Слово дня: “ШПИТАЛЬ” -  військово-медичний заклад для стаціонарного лікування хворих і поранених.

Шпиталь забезпечує цілісний та індивідуальний підхід до кожного пацієнта.

The word of the day: diagnosis (noun)

Meaning: a judgment about what a particular illness or problem is, made after examining it.
