The General Hospital volunteers at the Plaza de la Salud have inaugurated the new "Consuelo Du-Breil de Bonetti" pediatric oncological unit aimed at providing integrated health care for children affected by cancer in the DR.
Speaking at the opening ceremony held yesterday, volunteers president Dr. Julio Amado Castanos Guzman said that this is the first step towards the dream of making it possible to treat children with cancer.
He said, "From now on children can receive chemo-therapy in an area designed exclusively for them, since before they did this together with adults."
The new area was built and equipped with a budget of RD$7,000,000 that was raised through different activities over the last few years. Monsignor Francisco Jose Arnaiz blessed the new unit during a ceremony that was attended by Jose Bonetti Guerra and Jose Manuel Bonetti Du-Breil, the widower and son of the philanthropist after whom the area was named.
