The Valencian Institute of Oncology is a concerted center that collaborates with public health through a concerted action agreement. Anyone who needs medical oncology care can be treated at the IVO. However, under this concerted action agreement, the procedure for being a patient in our hospital varies according to the circumstances of each patient.
If the person is a resident of the Valencian Community, is in possession of the SIP health card that accredits the level of public benefits and has medical documentation that confirms the cancer suspicion, they can request to be treated at the IVO and will not have to bear any cost for their treatments. According to the concerted action agreement that the IVO maintains with the Ministry of Universal Health and Public Health of the Valencian Community, they must be people with oncological problems who reside and form part of the protected population of the health departments of the Valencian Community with coverage public health in accordance with the provisions of Law 3/2003, of May 28, on Cohesion and Quality of the National Health System and development regulations, and Decree 3/2015 of July 24, of the Consell, by which universal access to health care in the Valencian Community is regulated.
Any other person who is not included in the previous point may also request to be treated in the IVO, but the procedure is different. You can go to the IVO Admissions department, call 96 111 4000 or contact electronically.
Regarding care for displaced persons, action will be taken in accordance with the provisions of current state regulations, in the community regulations for the coordination of Social Security Systems and in the bilateral agreements signed by the Spanish State in matters of health care.
