Ministry of Health: Creation of National Cancer Institute is important

The Council of Ministers of Cyprus approved the Bill for the establishment of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The Institute will operate as an autonomous scientific body with the aim of better coordination and holistic management of issues related to cancer and oncology. It will be responsible for preparing and implementing the National Cancer Strategy, as well as for setting national guidelines and clinical protocols. In addition, it will contribute to the training of healthcare professionals, public awareness, and the promotion of research programs for a better understanding of the disease.
