Abstract

ALFARO CAMPO, Grettel Carolina; BOGANTES LEDESMA, Sixto; GARITA MUNO, Karla  and  RUIZ SALAZAR, Francis. Pros y contras de la creación del Hospital contra el Cáncer en Costa Rica. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2004, vol.21, n.1, pp.91-107. ISSN 2215-5287.

The relevance that represents to the country the creation of the oncological hospital is controversial, because it has received a wide coverage by the news, where important denounces have been made, and part of the populations studied for this essay are against this project, 25 % of the medical doctors do not find a direct benefit. As to who has to lead the project, both populations (medical and civilian) agree that the CCSS has to lead it. The ICCC (Costa Rican Institute Against Cancer) has been associated with the construction of the facilities of the hospital that give attendance, but the law 7765 establishes it like the organism in charge of the investigation, capacitating, prevention and treatment of this illness, therefore, it is necessary to make a financial analysis of the costs that shows the benefits and what changes are implicated with the creation of an oncological hospital, however, for this hospital to function properly, transparency and communication are indispensable. On the other hand, it is probable that the creation of this specialized center in cancer implies a significative difference as to the situation of the patient with cancer in Costa Rica.

Keywords : Oncological hospital; project; medics; direct benefit; leading; CCSS; ICCC (Costa Rican Institute Against Cancer); cancer; law 7765; investigation; capacitating; prevention; treatment; transparency.
