Bulgarian-Dutch pediatric oncology partnership

Overview

Bulgarian medical institutions, specifically UMBAL ‘St. Georgi’ in Plovdiv and UMBAL ‘Tsaritsa Ioanna – ISUL’ in Sofia, have entered into a partnership with the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The collaboration, formalized through a five-year memorandum of understanding, aims to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and comprehensive care for children with oncological diseases. Key components of the agreement include the exchange of expertise, professional training, joint scientific research, and the development of treatment protocols.

Through this partnership, Bulgarian specialists will participate in international multidisciplinary boards and clinical trials, while Bulgarian children with complex cases may gain access to advanced medical technologies available at the Dutch center. The initiative also seeks to implement the Dutch model of complex care in Bulgaria, emphasizing long-term follow-up for cured patients, palliative care, and psychosocial support.
