| 14. Project justification |
Currently, the use of power wheelchairs is justified by the need to compensate for independent motor activity: — for oncology patients in the early postoperative period to prevent complications from prolonged bed rest; — for elderly patients with severe frailty and extreme weakness due to cardiovascular or respiratory failure during diagnosis and treatment; — for patients with neurological disorders due to brain damage during radiation therapy. The Mogilev Regional Oncology Dispensary annually treats patients from Mogilev and the Mogilev Region. Over the past three years, the following patients received inpatient and outpatient medical care: in 2023. A total of 13,787 patients were treated, of which 5,762 underwent surgery and 1,620 received radiation therapy. In 2024, a total of 14,148 patients were treated, of which 5,697 underwent surgery and 2,182 received radiation therapy. In 2025, a total of 14,113 patients were treated, of which 5,842 underwent surgery and 2,029 received radiation therapy. The Mogilev Regional Oncology Dispensary’s wheelchair fleet consists of 48 wheelchairs with manual mobility (with the assistance of an accompanying person). The current number of wheelchairs does not fully provide patients in need with independent mobility. The acquisition of electric wheelchairs will provide mobility for patients who are unable to move independently. |
| 15. Post-project activities |
Patients in Mogilev and the Mogilev region who are unable to move independently will have the opportunity to increase their mobility when receiving treatment or diagnostic examinations at the Mogilev Regional Oncology Dispensary. |
