The Catalunya Sud Cancer Center joins the European oncology map

  • The centre, led by the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus with the participation of IRB CatSud, has been accredited by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes, a European network of excellence in oncology.

Southern Catalonia Biomedical Research Institute (IRBCatSud, formerly IISPV) takes part in the Catalunya Sud Cancer Center, a new oncology structure promoted by the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus that has recently been accredited by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI), one of the leading European networks of excellence in oncology.

The Catalunya Sud Cancer Center has been created as an integrated model of clinical care, biomedical research and training, with the aim of improving coordination and the quality of care for people with cancer in southern Catalonia. The project is led by the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus, with the participation of IRB CatSud and the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, strengthening collaboration between healthcare, research and education.

The OECI accreditation recognises the Catalunya Sud Cancer Center as a member of the European network of oncology centres of excellence, made up of institutions that meet high international standards in healthcare, research and innovation. This recognition consolidates southern Catalonia’s position on the European oncology map and reinforces the role of biomedical research as a key part of an integrated oncology care model.
