Care and Services

Care for patients and their loved ones is not only about modern equipment, state of art procedures and top-class professionals. An overall care for the patient is also a key part of the treatment.

In MMCI, we offer top care in the fields of nursing, social healthcare, nutrition, and psychology, as well as several additional services, which are aimed to elevate the quality of life during the fight against cancer. Those services help improving the course of care and the healing process.

1NURSING CARE

In MMCI, we provide high-quality nursing care. This care is patient- and caregiver oriented. Our non-medical healthcare professionals are members of multidisciplinary teams in individual areas of care for our patients. This group includes such teams as prevention of pressure sores, long-healing wound management, post-operative wound management, care for patients with stoma and catheters. Our priority is to respect human dignity, ensure privacy and assure patient safety.


2NUTRITION CARE

Nutritional therapists in MMCI provide advice to patients during oncologic illness and cancer care. Nutrition is very important during anti-cancer treatment, and it is one of the parts of successful treatment. Proper nutrition, which ensures good nutritional state of the patient, supports the treatment, reduces side effects, accelerates recovery, and has positive effect on the quality of life and the outcome of the treatment.


3PSYCHOLOGIC CARE

Oncologic patients and their loved ones go through psychologic changes and stress - this is quite normal in such situation. Nevertheless, psychologic condition of the patient could affect the treatment. Thus, our team of psychologists is ready to support the patient and his/her caregivers in case of need.


4HOSPITAL OMBUDSMAN

The hospital ombudsman provides assistance to patients, their relatives and loved ones in resolving situations related to treatment and stay at the MMCI. The ombudsman investigates complaints and suggestions on quality of provided care, operational and organizational problems, and suspicions of unethical behavior of employees of the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute.
