Spain implements the Standards of Care for Children with Cancer

The Spanish Ministry of Health recently issued an important document on standards and recommendations for quality paediatric cancer care units, which describes the quality criteria for optimal organization and management of care for children and adolescents with cancer in Spain.

The Spanish document is fully inspired by the SIOPE-led reference document ‘European Standards of Care for Children with Cancer’ and specifically aims to transpose and tailor these standards at the national level. More information:
