The Ministry of Health, on the basis of a relevant decision of the Council of Ministers, announces the opening of applications for assessment for the recognition of National Clinical Centres of Excellence and National Clinical Reference Centres, as part of its actions to improve health services, particularly in the field of rare diseases.
In the context of this process, Centres are defined as those providing services either for rare diseases or for complex conditions as manifestations/complications in common diseases that require specialised services from specialised multidisciplinary teams of health professionals, working together and/or located and working in other competent centres and networking within national networks, having appropriate expertise and able to further develop their skills. Provide services that do not allow/justify compromises in terms of level of expertise (e.g. transplantation, neonatal health services) or services related to more rare diseases (e.g. rare cancers, genetic diseases), research and education services.
Potential Applicants are Clinics, Polyclinics and Clinics/Departments of NHS and Private Sector Hospitals providing outpatient and/or inpatient health care to patients.
