Jihlava Hospital is introducing several organisational changes intended to create room for the further development of its specialist departments and closer cooperation between them. A new Department of Laboratory Medicine is being established, bringing together the former Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology and the Department of Haematology and Transfusion. The changes also affect the leadership of the Oncology Department.

"Both changes are above all an opportunity for the further development of our departments. We want to create the best possible conditions for cooperation between specialists, for the efficient work of individual teams and, most importantly, for high-quality patient care. The establishment of the Department of Laboratory Medicine is an important step towards closer integration of specialties that already work very closely together. It is also a modern way of organising laboratory care that will allow us to respond better to its further development and to lay the groundwork for its future growth. At the same time, we are pleased to give the new leadership of the Oncology Department the opportunity to take it forward, and we look forward to its further development," says Ing. Alexander Filip, Director of Jihlava Hospital.
Jihlava Hospital has established a Department of Laboratory Medicine, which organisationally combines the former Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology and the Department of Haematology and Transfusion. Merging these departments is a modern organisational step in line with the current trend of integrating laboratory specialties. The joint structure will make room for closer cooperation between the teams, more efficient use of specialist capacity and the further development of laboratory medicine at Jihlava Hospital.
The aim is to gradually build a modern, comprehensive laboratory medicine department able to respond flexibly to developments in diagnostic methods, new technologies and the growing demands of healthcare. The newly established Department of Laboratory Medicine will be headed by MUDr. Eliška Laštůvková.
The hospital management would also like to thank the previous heads of the laboratory departments, MUDr. Helena Skačáni and MUDr. Miroslava Leinertová, for their professional leadership, their work and their significant contribution to the development of laboratory care at the hospital.
There are also personnel changes in the Oncology Department of Jihlava Hospital. The department is now headed by MUDr. Dana Dvořáková. "On behalf of the hospital management, I wish MUDr. Dana Dvořáková every success in her new role. The Oncology Department holds an important position within Jihlava Hospital, and I am confident that under her leadership it will continue to develop its professional work and the quality of patient care," says Ing. Alexander Filip.
The Oncology Department is part of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre (KOC) of Jihlava Hospital. Its further development, the strengthening of its professional facilities and the continuity between the individual areas of cancer care are among the hospital's key priorities. The aim is to keep developing the Comprehensive Cancer Centre so that it provides patients in the region with accessible, comprehensive cancer care of a high professional standard. The hospital management also thanks MUDr. Lubomír Slavíček, Ph.D., for his work to date, his professional leadership of the Oncology Department and his contribution to the development of cancer care at Jihlava Hospital.
Another important part of the further development of cancer care at Jihlava Hospital is the planned new pavilion, which will provide modern facilities for the Comprehensive Cancer Centre. The new premises will allow the individual areas of cancer care to develop further, improve conditions for patients and healthcare staff, and offer room for introducing modern diagnostic and treatment methods. The development of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre and the construction of the new pavilion are therefore an important step towards strengthening cancer care in the Vysočina Region in the long term.
