Carmen Uscatu: Collaboration between Princess Máxima Center and Marie Curie Children’s Hospital

“”No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.” – H.E. Luccock
Last week, I visited Princess Máxima Center for the third time. I had very meaningful meetings about which I will explain now and in the next posts.
I was there to talk about different topics. One of them was the plan for the laboratory at Marie Curie Children’s Hospital.
I saw the process in the laboratory from the moment when the sample of the tumor was brought in until it becomes a diagnosis through which the treatment can start.
We discussed a concrete plan to improve our laboratory diagnostics in the next 5 years, including equipment, courses, procedures, and quality management.
Until molecular diagnosis for children with cancer becomes possible in our country, we send samples to the Netherlands.
Do you know that due to this collaboration between Prinses Maxima and Marie Curie Children’s Hospital, with the support of Dăruiește Viață every child diagnosed at Marie Curie with cancer has the opportunity to have the most advanced diagnostic: molecular diagnoses? With this, Prinses Máxima Centrum voor kinderoncologie increases the chance of survival by 10%.
But coming back to the initial thought: everyone that works there works in teams.
Nice definition, Ronald de Krijger: “Pathologists exist because other doctors want to know what is in the mass.”
With: prof. dr. Rob Pieters, Augustina Enculescu, RALUCA SOAITA, Narcisa Popescu, Rubina Moeniralam
This is how progress happens. Through trust. Through collaboration.”
