Supporting Dharmais Cancer Center in Indonesia
Introduction
The aim of the project is to support the Ministry of Health and Dharmais in evaluating the most optimal and financially sustainable radiotherapy solution.
Cancer incidence in Indonesia is increasing, yet access to radiotherapy remains limited, covering only about 20 per cent of national needs. To help close this gap, the Ministry of Health in Indonesia plans to expand treatment capacity by establishing a new radiotherapy facility at the Dharmais National Cancer Centre in Jakarta. The evaluation’s findings will provide input to a conceptual design of the new building.
