Cancer is one of the most mortal diseases that is affecting millions of people around the world. Every day people are diagnosed with cancer and some of them don't have the resources or the place to combat this horrible disease. Every day, dozens of scientists, doctors, are working hard in search for a cure. Meanwhile they have their efforts in trying to find ways that can delay and hopefully the disappeared the disease.
A while ago I read a story that filled me with hope and I want to share it with you. In 2014 news came out that in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico a new building was under construction. The building is for oncological purpose, as treatments and research studies. This fills me with great joy because this new hospital will be offering advanced treatments, which would benefit many patients on the island which perhaps have to travel to have treatments. In a ceremony to begin the construction the Governor emphasized the hospital is a aiming to be a "primary source for discoveries about the nature of cancer and the development of new approaches to prevention, diagnosis and therapy." The 12 floor facility will house eight halls specialized in cancer surgery, intensive care unit, a unit of intermediate care and three floors with 72 beds, as well as chemotherapy, specialized breast cancer treatments, bone marrow transplant, and nuclear medicine, among many other services.
Today this structure is almost ready, just a little time to see this work complete. I'm anxious that this new hospital begin to work and make the effort to give a better life to patients suffering from this horrible diseases. I'm hoping this structure provide light, hope, and the happiness patients needs.
