Today, patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment must go to Guadeloupe. Even if the trip is covered by Social Security, getting around is never easy and easy. Next year, they should be able to follow their treatment in Saint-Martin.
Indeed, the Louis-Constant Fleming hospital center has made a request to this effect. "The file will be examined next November by the Autonomy Health Commission in Guadeloupe," announces Valérie Denux, the director general of the regional health agency (ARS). "And it's likely to be validated. "
Then, the hospital center will have to build a unit in its establishment to install the equipment necessary for the production of chemo bags. ARS has committed to pay 500 euros to finance the acquisition of the equipment.
In terms of staff, the Saint-Martin hospital already employs an oncologist and two nurses trained in the preparation and administration of this type of treatment.
