Het Kankercentrum van Sciensano, partner in het project, staat in voor de coรถrdinatie van het Kankerplan, met Anouk Waeytens als coรถrdinator. ๐ Ontdek het Belgisch Kankerplan 2026โ2036: www.health.belgium.be/nl/nieuws/20... #BelgianCancerPlan2026 #BECancerCentre
Het plan werd opgesteld in het kader van een nauwe institutionele samenwerking tussen de FOD Volksgezondheid, het RIZIV-INAMI, @sciensano.be, het KCE en het FAGG en is gebaseerd op een methodologie die steunt op de consultatie van stakeholders en wetenschappelijke evidentie.
Om een antwoord te bieden op de structurele uitdagingen van de kankerzorg, zoals de stijgende kankerincidentie, de toenemende complexiteit van diagnostiek en behandelingen en de groeiende nood aan geรฏntegreerde zorg, biedt het Kankerplan een geรฏntegreerd strategisch kader voor kwaliteitsvolle zorg.
