![[Part 3] ION [Instituto Oncológico Nacional or National Institute of Oncology], is one of the most important and renowned institutions of the Republic, a public hospital that cares for cancer patients who come from all over Panama and cares for more than 21,000 cancer patients per year.
Thanks to Brother’s Brother Foundation’s donation of 10 complete hospital beds, treadmills and wheelchairs, the hospital will be better equipped to care for the most ill. The patients received at this hospital are the most in need, many traveling from Panama’s most remote areas.
The donations were received by Dr. Juan Carlos Alcedo and Dr. Jorge Diaz, Director and Deputy Director of ION, respectively, together with ION’s Biomedical Engineer, Joany Delgado. “It should be noted that this show of support is very beneficial to the patients we treat, the most needy in the Republic of Panama, especially during these extremely challenging times due to the economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic,” Dr. Alcedo explained.
