As moving healthcare closer to home is being implemented successfully in many countries, Mane Foundation has completed the renovation of the Chemotherapy and Palliative Care Clinic at Vlora Regional Hospital, creating modern conditions for oncology patients from the area.

The intervention included the full renovation of the treatment room, the installation of specialized chemotherapy chairs, as well as upgrades to the electrical system and lighting, and the reorganization and separation of treatment stations.

One of the patients describes the change simply: “It is a new and very functional ward. Until now, we often had to travel all the way to the capital.” Every hour spent off the road, every reduced expense, and every opportunity to receive treatment closer to home can make a difficult process a little easier to manage.

Vlora is the second hospital where an intervention of this kind has been carried out, following the University Hospital Center in Tirana, as part of the commitment of Mane Foundation and its founder, Samir Mane, to renovate and improve chemotherapy and palliative care facilities in hospitals across country.
