The day hospital is equipped with 32 individual treatment stations, designed to ensure maximum privacy and comfort for the patient in order to attenuate the physical and mental distress associated with the treatment process. We have thus created a unique environment where the patient can choose to receive treatment in the dedicated indoor garden, conceived to convey feelings of tranquillity, peace, and well-being. Inside the Centre, all spaces have also been designed to have a view over one of the Foundation’s gardens.

In the day hospital, each individual treatment station contains a high-quality armchair, to provide maximum comfort to the patient, as well as cable TV and wireless access to the internet. For total patient convenience, the day hospital provides the means for the patient to have his or her personal belongings close-by during the whole treatment. This space is also conceived to allow attendants, family, or friends to remain next to the patient, with all the necessary conditions for well-being.

The Champalimaud Clinical Centre is totally equipped to prepare and handle all the necessary drugs for treatment at the day hospital. Our pharmacy department ensures that all the medication given to patients complies with the highest safety and efficacy standards. It also seeks to keep up-to-date on the latest technological advances in the area and to guarantee that the best care and medications are made available to the patients.
