The European standards of care for children and adolescents with cancer — now in Bulgarian

In December we told you that we were preparing a Bulgarian translation of the European standards of care for children and adolescents with cancer. The translation is ready and the file is freely available.

The European standards of care for children and adolescents with cancer are a set of guidelines that define what high-quality care for young cancer patients should look like across Europe. They bring together the latest medical evidence, expert knowledge and the real-life experience of patients, families and survivors.

The aim is for every child and every teenager, wherever they live, to have access to the same high level of specialised treatment, supportive care and long-term follow-up.

Who the standards are for

• Patient organisations and advocates — for stronger advocacy, with evidence-based recommendations.
• Families and survivors — so that they know what care to expect and to ask for.
• Doctors — as guidance in daily practice and for consistent, high-quality care.
• Healthcare administrators — for health policy and the allocation of resources.
