Welcome to the pages of the Croatian Association for Radiotherapy (CART)
Bridging the gaps in radiotherapy, together
About us
The Croatian Association for Radiotherapy (CART) is a professional organization established with the aim of promoting and developing modern radiotherapy as a key element of oncological treatment. We bring together medical professionals, researchers, and health policy advocates in order to improve the accessibility and quality of radiotherapy treatments in Croatia. Through our activities, we strive to create an environment in which patients, doctors, and the healthcare system work together to raise the standards of cancer care.
Key Pillars of Activity
Our goal is to connect all stakeholders who have the knowledge, experience, and willingness to standardize and modernize radiotherapy – from doctors, physicists, and radiologic technologists, through healthcare institutions and scientists, to decision-makers at the national and European level. We focus on three key pillars of activity:
Education and professional development
enabling continuous training of healthcare workers.
Collaboration and knowledge exchange
building strong connections among radiotherapy centers in Croatia and abroad.
Advocacy and policy
actively participating in shaping healthcare policies that recognize the importance of radiotherapy.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to ensure that every cancer patient in Croatia has access to equally high-quality, modern, timely, and effective radiotherapy. We are guided by scientific evidence, best international practices, and the ethics of responsible action. Radiotherapy saves lives. Our task is to ensure that it can do so everywhere, always, and for everyone.
Our Vision
Our vision is a radiotherapy system that knows no compromise when it comes to cancer patient care. We believe in radiotherapy that continuously evolves and invests – in knowledge, in people, and in technology. One in which all patients, regardless of where they live, are in an equal position when facing illness. Where the staff is skilled, the equipment is modern, and the patient – the only person who truly has a problem – is at the center of every decision.
Together, we bridge gaps and build the kind of radiotherapy our citizens deserve.
