Milan, March 23 (Reuters) - Comfort fit for a multi-star hotel. Single rooms, all with bath. Doors always open to relatives, have already banned smoking at the entrance gate and strict diet 'green'. The oncologist Umberto Veronesi proposes his idea of \u200b\u200ba hospital model, but aims 'lens' on the plate for the sick and throws a proposal more:
" We would like all our patients to become vegetarian " because" this institution should also have an educational function "and" we give the example of diet . Speaking to reporters today on the sidelines of the celebrations for the 'double' of the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) in Milan and the inauguration Iea 2-Day Center, the Scientific Director of IRCCS Via Ripamonti summarizes his mission: " would like to introduce a number of innovations that will sweep away the old hospital culture of the past. The hospital - supports the former health minister - must first be part community. The patient should feel almost at home "and must have the highest level of assistance the hotel." Must have relatives all day with him to cheer him up, to help "he says. And again: " must have a single room just for him. Because if nobody would go to a hotel to sleep with a stranger, do not see why a patient should sleep with people who do not know and can also want a privacy confide in their family. "All the rooms have to be" en ", food" good and healthy "and the whole area of \u200b\u200bthe hospital must be no-smoking." Here at ' IEO - remember - smoking is prohibited in the entire area bounded by the outer fence . "IEO The second, which stands in front of IEI and will be operational by early April, seeks to provide paths for rapid super- cancer patients. " From diagnosis to treatment in a day, maybe two or three ." New Day Center materializes and makes concrete the idea of \u200b\u200bmedicine that we grow for many years , "Veronesi said. Progress in prevention, early diagnosis and therapy " have changed the face of cancer treatment, making it more effective and more attentive to the quality of life of patients . However, "the hospital must now change," warned the former Minister of Health. The resort in the future " must project itself into the population and to organize a more preventive medicine and custom," oriented characteristics and needs of the person. The new hospital should be more human, more friendly for those who crosses its threshold with a very heavy load of anxiety and often in a state of psychological weakness . With this in mind the doctor hopes structures more like a home, even in 'Rhythms'. Just lunches and dinners served at 11 to 18, has always insisted the doctor. The hospital continues, " a place of suffering has become a place of hope. We must tell the patient the expectation of full recovery, confidence in the future " teaches Veronesi. "Already today cure rates from cancer are on average 80% but may exceed 90% for breast and arrive at 95% for the prostate. The physician has a duty to inform the patient of its real conditions, but should enrich its content with a strong message of hope. The time of diagnosis represents a break in a person's life. And the doctor must accompany the patient throughout the its path ", helping to overcome" the rebellion that triggered before a diagnosis of cancer . "The new IEO will be" an outpost of the Italian health in the world, an example that I hope will be followed throughout the country " , concluded the scientist.
