Figure 2 shows the changes in the number of people treated per year at each facility. The trends in most facilities were similar, with the greatest decline observed in 2021 and the greatest improvement in 2022. At HIBMC, patient numbers declined earlier than at other facilities because prostate cancer patients were not treated at this center. At Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology, which treats large numbers of patients from outside the region where it is located, patient numbers notably declined due to the significant impact of travel restrictions imposed by the state of emergency.
