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)
