By bundling care, research, education and training in one national center, the chances of survival and recovery of children improve and the quality of (survival) life is promoted. The basic principle of the care that the Princess Máxima Center offers within three years is 'central what must be central, local what can be done locally'. Children from all over the country with (suspected) an oncological condition will eventually be referred to the new center, where pediatric oncology specialists make the diagnosis and determine and deploy the treatment. To make the stay as comfortable as possible for all concerned, the center is equipped with excellent child and family-friendly accommodation options. Less complex aspects of the treatment, such as simple components of chemotherapy, take place under the direction of the Princess Máxima Center in hospitals that treat together throughout the country. These hospitals are often closer to where the children live, so that they can continue their normal life as much as possible. The aim is that parents and children do not have to travel longer than 45 minutes to a co-treating hospital. The children come to the Princess Máxima Center as standard for diagnostics, risk classification, more intensive treatments and essential checks.
