NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE
Our goal is serve you.
It is one of the institutes specialized in diagnosing and treating tumors in Libya. The National Institute for Cancer Treatment was established as a small institute by self-effort.
It was developed and then resettled in the village of Nisour Al-Jaw, after several difficulties encountered, and it was opened on 09/19/2004 AD and provided some medicines and medical supplies, and some available equipment and daily operating materials, as well as emptying a number of medical elements auxiliary to the work of the institute was limited to the beginning of the institute. On giving doses of chemotherapy to cancer patients, but the unbridled desire to develop and improve the level of performance of the institute contributed to obtaining approvals for the purpose of opening the door for donations in favor of the development of the institute, which was launched with the beginning of 2005, and also the intensification of public and private efforts, which had a great impact on developing and equipping The institute becomes the institute with “26” rooms equipped with “120” beds, lounges for operations, intensive care, a medical laboratory and a diagnostic radiology building, in addition to the rest of the service facilities, as well as opening clinics in various specialties for diagnosis.
