Chief Physician of Gynecological Oncology Mikko Loukovaara considers the certificate to be particularly important for a large Cancer Center, as it is a guarantee of the quality of education. Accreditation also brings visibility to Finnish education.
The ESGO quality certificate has been awarded to more than 100 European cancer centers, but this is Finland’s first.
“This is new to Finland, and HUS is the first accredited university hospital. We are a pioneer in the field. Now we are part of the ESGO family,” says Loukovaara.
HUS’s strength was considered to be Finland’s largest gynecological oncology center, which promotes the maintenance and development of high-quality care and education. The facilities were considered to be well equipped and well equipped to provide multidisciplinary care. HUS was also praised for its highly motivated trainees and good team spirit.
ESGO (European Society of Gynecological Oncology) is the European umbrella organization for gynecological oncology, which aims to promote the treatment, research and education of gynecological cancer patients.
