As a premier cancer center, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is committed to supporting patients from all angles. In addition to providing comprehensive medical services supported by a team of professional doctors and the latest medical technology, Mandaya has also launched the Mandaya Advance Cancer Center community, abbreviated as “GENG MACAN.”
This community is created as a support group for patients to exchange stories about various things, including their experiences undergoing treatment from the beginning to the present. The GENG MACAN community not only consists of patients who are still actively undergoing treatment but also patients who have been declared cancer-free.
Launching of Mandaya’s Cancer Community
At this warmly held event, cancer survivors, including those who have successfully achieved remission from stage IV cancer, shared their stories in front of patients and families still struggling with treatment. Yes, this gathering event was not only attended by patients but also by families who undoubtedly play a significant role during the treatment process.
Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri acknowledges that families play a crucial role in the healing process. Therefore, this hospital is also committed to facilitating any needs of patients’ families related to health.
“There are many components that support the patient’s treatment process. Not only doctors and nurses, but also, of course, their families. So today, in launching the community, we invite all these components to relax, eat together, sing together, take photos, and share stories together. We want patients to feel that they have a lot of support, with the hope that they will continue to be enthusiastic,” explained Erwin Suyanto, Public Relations from Mandaya Hospital Group.
In addition to being a platform for sharing, the GENG MACAN cancer community is also expected to serve as an educational platform for patients, their families, and those around them to learn more about cancer. Prof. DR. Aru W. Sudoyo, Sp.PD-KHOM, FINASIM, FACP, mentioned in his speech that currently, in Indonesia, 70% of cancer patients begin examinations when they have already reached stage IV. This makes treatment more complicated.
“With this community, I hope it can also be an educational platform for the people around them. Explanations from patients are usually easier to understand and stick with people,” said Prof. Aru.
