The President was accompanied by Minister Grazyna Ignaczak-Bandych, head of the CPRP and a member of the Health Care Council. Health Minister Adam Niedzielski also attended the signing ceremony.
The Law on the National Oncology Network envisages the introduction of a new model for the management of oncology care in Poland, which is expected to improve the organization of the system for providing health care services in this area. It also stipulates that medical entities meeting the eligibility criteria set forth in the law will form a National Oncology Network. The NSO is to provide comprehensive oncological care throughout the country, and the various stages of treatment are to follow strictly defined standards, with the cooperation of specialists in various fields.
