EU Health Commissioner Várhelyi described the state-of-the-art cancer centre as a potential model for Europe
Czechia has opened a major new cancer prevention centre in Brno, betting that earlier detection, artificial intelligence and personalised prevention can help ease one of Europe’s fastest-growing health burdens.
The new Centre for Oncological Prevention at the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute (MOÚ) was officially launched this week as part of a broader €46.1 million modernisation project backed largely by EU funding – four-fifths of the project costs were covered through the EU’s NextGenerationEU.
Czech Health Minister Adam Vojtěch described the opening as “an exceptionally important step” for the country’s oncology system.
“Prevention, supportive care and the introduction of new medicines and technologies have a crucial impact on survival and quality of life for oncology patients,” Czech Health Minister Adam Vojtěch said.
