“I have a strong connection with Goiânia because it is my homeland, where I created many memories and experiences. I have always had the desire to do something for the city where I am warmly received. Contributing to an initiative like this, which will positively impact the lives of many families, especially children, makes me extremely happy and grateful for the possibility of making this come true. Helping others is a purpose that I fulfill with pleasure.” – Alok.
The Alok Institute supports, in Goiânia (GO), the construction of the support house for cancer patients at the Complexo Oncológico de Referência do Estado de Goiás – CORA, an initiative of the Hospital do Amor, which became a reference in the treatment of cancer patients due to its activities in Barretos (SP).
The “Home of the Love Artists” will be a space for welcoming and supporting oncology patients and their families, providing accommodation during treatment at Hospital CORA. The complex is integrated with the hospital, which will house patients from the new pediatric wing and their families.
The project foresees a total construction area of 2,160m² and will include a reception area, auditorium, classroom, garden, ecumenical chapel, kitchen with dining room, and apartments.
With cutting-edge infrastructure, the hospital will offer humane and high-quality care, following the standards of excellence of Hospital do Amor in Barretos-SP.
This support is part of the mission of the Alok Institute to promote access to health, dignity, and well-being.
CORA – Goiânia
The hospital in Goiânia will be managed by Dr. Henrique Prata, president of Hospital do Amor in Barretos (SP), and will have 44.7 thousand square meters and a capacity of 148 beds for the hospitalization of cancer patients, as well as a surgical center, bone marrow transplant center, pharmacy, imaging exam center, and chemotherapy infusion.
The Complexo Oncológico de Referência do Estado de Goiás – CORA, is named in honor of the poet Cora Coralina.
About the partnership with Hospital do Amor
In 2021, the Alok Institute established a partnership with Hospital do Amor to acquire high-tech equipment for treating approximately 600 patients with intellectual disabilities.
In 2023, we renewed our support, this time for the acquisition of the Ultrafine Gastrovideoscope device, which assists in treating tumor and cicatricial lesions of the esophagus in patients under 1 year old with sedation difficulties and high risk, as well as aiding in the treatment and diagnosis of congenital esophageal stenosis and the insertion of feeding tubes.
In the same year, Alok – President of the Institute – became a sponsor of the Complexo Oncológico de Referência do Estado de Goiás – CORA.
