About Skandionkliniken

Organization

Municipal Association for Advanced Radiotherapy

The seven regions in Sweden with university hospitals are behind Skandionkliniken. Together they run the Municipal Association for Advanced Radiotherapy (KAS), which has two tasks:

    • to run Skandionkliniken, i.e. to create the conditions for optimal treatment with proton radiation, and to develop and evaluate the activities.
      • run the Hotel von Kraemer, where patients and relatives can stay during treatment.
