Two important new facilities for the San Bassiano hospital
ELIOS was founded in August 2017, and is an association of entrepreneurs and freelancers based in the Veneto foothills. Their name stands for "Experience, Work, Objective, Health", and their aim is to promote health projects by working with examples of scientific excellence in both the medical field and local health facilities. Karizia has been a partner of this non-profit organisation ever since its foundation, and in 2019 it donated two important new facilities to the San Bassiano hospital. The urology department of ULSS 7 is now the third European facility to use the real-time confocal laser endomicroscopy (CELLVIZIO) system for the early diagnosis of urinary tract cancer. This equipment allows for improved diagnosis of tumour formation at an early stage, and enables treatment to be carried out at the same time as the diagnostic procedure, producing considerable advantages for both patients and hospital departments. A new-generation 3D CAD software was also donated to the breast treatment department, able to identify even the smallest breast tumours, and giving the San Bassiano hospital extra advantages in the key areas of cancer diagnosis and prevention.
