On July 5, 2022, it was announced by the Ministry of Health that the Council of Ministers authorized the tender for the purchase of ten units of equipment for the treatment with proton therapy and associated electromedical equipment for an estimated value of €271 million (VAT included). The cost of the equipment will be financed by the Amancio Ortega Foundation.
This equipment is intended for public hospitals of the National Health System (SNS) in seven Autonomous Communities within the Proton therapy Implementation Plan for the treatment of tumors, especially in pediatric patients. Proton therapy equipment will be provided at the rates of:
- One unit for the Basque Country, Galicia, Valencian Community, and the Canary Islands;
