The services of the Medical Oncology Polyclinic of Liv Hospital consist of outpatient treatment and sectors for inpatient treatment. These sectors serve both chemotherapy and supportive care. The chemotherapy lounge is designed with chemotherapy booths that have one chemotherapy chair in each. There are eight chemotherapy booths and 2 private treatment booths in the lounge. Our ward is serves you with 2 medical oncology specialists, 1 general practitioner, 3 chemotherapy nurses, 2 receptionists and 1 support staff person.

Our chemotherapy drugs are prepared by a specialist team, which consists of competent biologists who work in a special cabin under appropriate sanitary conditions.
