MUSCAT – This recognition, granted by the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC), places SQCCR among a select group of only 20 leading medical institutions worldwide acknowledged for providing the highest standards of support and comprehensive care for cancer patients.

This distinction highlights the center’s commitment to delivering world-class supportive care alongside advanced medical treatments. It also recognizes SQCCR’s integration of palliative care, psychological and physical support, and its application of international best practices to enhance the quality of life for patients throughout their treatment journey.

The administration of University Medical City praised the achievement, calling it a testament to the institution’s continued pursuit of medical excellence and leadership in specialized healthcare. It also acknowledged the vital role played by the center’s dedicated medical and administrative teams, whose expertise and commitment were instrumental in securing this international honour.
