Amid the recent price increase in essential medical supplies, particularly saline solutions and dextrose, the National Oncology Institute (ION) has guaranteed supply for all patients. According to the ION, the rise recorded in the national market impacted previously planned acquisitions, making the bidding for these essential supplies—necessary for hydration, medication administration, and multiple clinical procedures—more expensive. 'Thanks to this immediate action, the National Oncology Institute managed to guarantee the continuous supply of saline solutions and dextrose, avoiding disruptions in the care of oncology patients, who depend on these supplies as a fundamental part of their treatment,' the press release states. The entity reports that the General Director, Julio Javier Santamaría Rubio, along with his team, held several meetings to evaluate viable alternatives that would mitigate the budgetary impact without compromising the quality or safety of the hospital center's patient treatments.
