For approximately five years, UPMC has worked with Prof. Primorac along with the Health Ministry and key stakeholders to understand and identify how we can partner to address the health care needs of this region.
“Building on UPMC’s legacy of providing advanced cancer care internationally — with nearly 80 centers in the United States and five centers in Europe, part of UPMC Italy and UPMC Ireland — we are combining decades of cancer care expertise with Professor Primorac’s track record as a successful health care leader and entrepreneur,” said Bogosta.
A Comprehensive Cancer Center, Close to Home
UPMC Hillman Cancer Center is internationally renowned for ushering in the most advanced, evidence-based treatments and clinical trials not previously available in local communities.
“We do this by leveraging our many centers of excellence in areas such as immunology, drug discovery and stereotactic radiosurgery,” said Wild. “This is made possible by our academic medical center collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences, that ranks third in the U.S. in National Institute of Health funding.”
The new center will bring comprehensive cancer care to the people of Croatia and beyond — with advanced radiation oncology, medical oncology and PET-CT diagnostics.
Cancer Prevention and Treatment for Generations to Come
This venture is an example of medical and scientific excellence coming together to develop a new concept of advanced diagnostics and therapies locally within Croatia.
UPMC looks forward to working with the Health Ministry and local hospitals and physicians to positively impact lives and support the Croatian health system’s goals for improving cancer prevention and treatment.
“We fondly welcome Croatia to our UPMC International family,” said Bogosta. “This exciting partnership supports to fuel the medical and research mission of UPMC around the world.”
