Oncology

Dar Al Fouad Hospital (DAFH) provides an integrated medical team available around the clock with specialized consultants available seven days a week and an auxiliary team of specialists and consultants to back-up the first team. Nurses are especially trained to handle chemotherapeutics.

A special area is designated for same-day administration of chemotherapy. Doctors and nurses are available in this area to ensure safety and comfort of cancer patients.

A clinical pharmacy is available for the preparation of chemotherapeutics by a specialized pharmacist in the laminar flow device to ensure the medication is prepared with maximum precision and cleanliness.

All lab tests and images can be done in the hospital to ensure convenience and promptness of the results.

Constant cooperation between the oncology department and other disciplines such as onco surgery, pain management, internal medicine, chest and obstetrics makes sure the patient’s various complaints get attended to.

DAFH has started the combined clinic in which the patient is examined by prestigious consultants of both oncology and surgical oncology to ensure the implementation of the most optimum treatment plan.

The availability of all chemotherapeutic and genetic therapies are in line with the latest international standards.

The hospital sponsors different trainings for the oncology team at the most renowned scientific institutions around the world to make sure that the practices and procedures used to treat cancer patients at the hospital are up-to-date with the most recent international protocols.

The oncology team also hosts a psychiatrist to handle patients and their families because we believe psychological well-being for cancer patients is as much as important as physical well-being.
