Nationaler Krebsplan (NKP) 2.0

In 2008, the National Cancer Plan was initiated in Germany by the Federal Ministry of Health together with three non-profit organizations. In addition to the initiators, all organizations, associations, and interest groups relevant to oncology were involved in this coordination and cooperation program. After initial priority formation, goals were formulated in many working groups of experts. The broad participation in the NCP represented a special challenge when formulating the goals and also to their implementation. Apart from unanimity, there was no set unification process. In particular, implementation processes with many participants at different levels have made it clear that an adaptation of the processes and the governance structure of the NCP is necessary. With the involvement of co-initiators and long-standing NCP participants, this is currently being prepared in the Federal Ministry of Health.
