A real exchange between Indonesia and Singapore in cancer care and treatment
Airlangga University Hospital (RSUA), in Indonesia, has signed an agreement for medical exchange covering service, education and research with Singapore's Icon Cancer Centre. Hospital director Prof. Nasronudin says that the agreement with Icon Cancer Centre will lead to a new era for the hospital.
As the first hospital in Indonesia to cooperate with Icon Cancer Centre, Airlangga University Hospital is supporting the government's efforts to promote health tourism in the country.
RSUA hopes to propose an integrated service system for cancer treatment that allows patients to be treated by doctors from multiple disciplines. "There are treatments from oncology and internal medicine to surgery, as well as palliative care. Our hospital and our colleagues from Singapore are currently developing these services," said Prof Nasronudin.
This opportunity allows Icon Cancer Centre's doctors to establish relations with RSUA doctors, that they will learn from each other in the management of cancer patients, both in Singapore and in Indonesia.
