HC Cancer Center renews QOPI certification, an assurance of quality and safety for cancer patients

HC Cancer Center we continue to improve with a single goal in mind: to offer our patients the best possible care. That is why we are proud to announce that we have renewed the international QOPI® (Quality Oncology Practice Initiative) certification, granted by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the ECO Foundation.

This recognition has been awarded after exceeding the quality indicators established by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The ASCO Quality Oncology Practice initiative is a programme that helps evaluate and improve the quality and safety of care provided to cancer patients.

 
This certification is much more than mere recognition. It is a guarantee for our patients, since it confirms that the treatments and care they receive meet the highest international standards in oncology.

What does it mean to you as a patient?

Being diagnosed with cancer is always difficult. During the process the patient is exposed to a number of important decisions, one of which is the choice of an oncology centre where they feel they are in the best possible hands.

• To be treated by a highly qualified and committed medical team.

 

• To receive treatments based on up-to-date protocols, safe and adapted to your needs.

 

• To receive care where patient safety is a priority at every stage of the process.

 

• To feel accompanied from diagnosis to follow-up, with close and personalised attention.

 

• Benefit from the coordinated work of different specialists who make joint decisions, always with your well-being in mind.

 
Thanks to the teamwork of our specialists, every medical decision is made in a coordinated way. ‘The goal is always the same: to offer our patients the best quality healthcare and maximum care at a delicate time in their lives’, states Dr. José Manuel Trigo, , head of the Medical Oncology Department at HC Marbella.

 
Dr Trigo also wanted to thank the commitment of the entire Medical Oncology team, as well as the collaboration of Dr Nicole Martin, from the Internal Medicine Department, whose work has been key in the multidisciplinary approach to each case.
 
For us, renewing this certification means continuing to fulfil our most important mission: to care for each and every person who trusts in us.
