The Minister of Health, Alberto Martínez ,has presented the Comprehensive Oncology Plan 2025-2030 of the Basque Country , a strategy aimed at improving the survival and quality of life of people with cancer.
The Plan, as a result of a broad participatory process, prioritizes prevention, early detection and equitable and personalized care .

The document includes seven priority areas and 35 objectives , from the promotion of healthy habits to research and innovation in treatments, and strengthens coordination between care levels and continuity of care , from diagnosis to follow-up or palliative care.
Among the innovations is the commitment to advanced treatments , such as cellular, biological or protontherapy therapies, which will gradually be incorporated into Osakidetza's portfolio of services, as well as the promotion of hospital rehabilitation and access to social, educational and work resources to facilitate the integration of patients and survivors.

Aligned with the European strategies and the Basque Health Pact , the plan is the main instrument of the Basque health system to address one of the main causes of death in the Basque Country: cancer accounts for 33.8% of deaths in men and 22.3% of deaths in women.
