Cancer patients do not get the same level of treatment in
hospitals due to cost-cutting measures.
This was reported by Professor Carin Uyl in her official inaugural
lecture at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam.
Some hospitals prefer not to prescribe expensive drugs, for which the
hospital has to carry 20% of the costs. In
addition, hospitals do not always prescribe diagnostic tests to identify the
nature and type of cancer, which have nowadays become very expensive. As a result there are unnecessary deaths from
cancer in Dutch hospitals.
