It was a good day for the staff of Oncology Unit at the CWM Hospital as the Minister for Industry, Trade, Tourism Faiyaz Koya with his staff members delivered early Christmas gifts.
The gifts included blankets, food items and many other things that are used by the patients while receiving their treatment.
Medical Superintendent Dr. Jemesa Tudravu while receiving the gifts stated the gifts are timely and it exemplifies the Christmas spirit.
He says this is an important place for cancer patients as this is where they receive chemotherapy and come for their routine check-ups.
Dr. Tudravu says apart from the medical treatment, the patients also receive emotional support from the staff and fellow patients.
He says these gifts will help the patients fight their diseases and ensure they know that there is support for them.
Koya says a lot of people do not know the mechanics of how things work at the Oncology Unit.
Koya says the gifts are meant to ease the work of the staff of the Oncology Unit.
