BRANCO, Paula et al. From Oncology Hospital to COVID FREE Oncology Hospital. Revista Onconews [online]. 2020, n.41, pp.32-40. Epub 01-Dic-2020. ISSN 1646-7868. https://doi.org/10.31877/on.2020.41.04.
In early 2020, Portugal faced the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The Lisbon’s Portuguese Institute of Oncology Francisco Gentil, prepared itself to assure the screening and due treatment of cancer patients with COVID-19. A contingency plan was drawn up, a crisis task force was appointed and a containment area was created. In April 2020 the Ministry of Health declared the Portuguese Institutes of Oncology as hospitals isolated from those that would treat COVID-19 patients. The crisis task force maintained the internal management of the pandemic, as well as the liaising with the Hospitals that treated COVID-19 patients. In this article, we will discuss how this Institution, being a hospital not directed to the treatment of COVID-19 patients, dealt with this pandemic.
