National Oncology Center

Recent years have seen major strides in public health for the Republic of Azerbaijan. Continued improvements in healthcare and education have worked to rebuild the public’s trust in the country’s medical system and increase confidence in the care received.

As Azerbaijan faces the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases, one institution has emerged as a leader in patient care and a fierce proponent of groundbreaking research and prevention efforts: the National Oncology Center of Azerbaijan Republic.

The National Oncology Center provides a range of services to support patients, oncologists, and public health professionals across Azerbaijan, as well with partners in Italy, Turkey, and Belgium.

With lives on the line and the need for a flexible, global solution pressing down, Dr. Anar Kazimov, a radiologist with the National Oncology Center, knew he needed a tool that would allow for easy access, secure storage, and the ability to view medical records and imaging from any device, regardless of where he or the patient was.

Enter Purview Image.

“With Purview Image, I work faster and [more] precisely. With all the studies from the same patient under one window, it’s easy to see everything.”

From 2005 to 2019, the number of registered cancer patients in Azerbaijan rose from 23,088 to 48,685, skyrocketing the need for cutting-edge, compassionate care. Purview's secure data transfer capabilities and user-friendly interface allow Dr. Kazimov and his colleagues to connect and collaborate with physicians from across the country and around the world, working together to address lung and stomach cancers, two of the top ten causes of death in the southern Caucasian country.

Without the barrier of travel, Dr. Kazimov's patients can remain closer to home without sacrificing a high quality of care or risking additional disease exposure.

“I can work in any environment," says Dr. Kazimov. "I can share my status with my colleagues to deliver better healthcare. And now it’s easy for me to collect interesting cases for research purposes by typing the status in my Purview account.”

By facilitating faster and easier communication, Purview Image is helping Dr. Kazimov to save lives and pursue exciting advances in cancer care.

“I recommend Purview not just for radiologists but also subspecialties who are interested in delivering telemedicine as well as collecting data for research purposes."
