A pioneer in the North of Espírito Santo, the High Complexity Assistance Unit – Unacon at Rio Doce Hospital is composed of a multidisciplinary team formed by clinical and surgical oncology, hematologist, pharmacists, nutritionist, social workers and nurses, and has the structure to assist, accompany and treat cancer patients.
Since its inauguration in March 2012, the Unacon at Rio Doce Hospital has become a reference for patients undergoing cancer treatment, not only in Linhares, but throughout the northern region of Espírito Santo, and also for some municipalities in neighboring states such as Bahia and Minas Gerais.
The unit serves patients through the Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS (Unified Health System, the public health system in Brazil), private service and health insurance plans.
