The phrase "are ongoing treatment" is not correct in English.
It should be "is ongoing treatment" or "are ongoing treatments" depending on the context. You can use it when discussing the status of a treatment process, but it needs to be adjusted for grammatical accuracy.
Example: "The patient's health condition is stable, and the ongoing treatment is showing positive results."
Alternatives: "is current treatment" or "are current treatments."
