The hospital has a dedicated Clinical Trial Center (CTC) that coordinates, administers and oversees all clinical studies (handling legal, administrative and financial processes) and works with ethics review and study teams to implement research, while also providing patient-facing information on ongoing clinical studies and participation. This research infrastructure, embedded within its broader healthcare operations, allows AZ Groeninge to conduct and facilitate a wide range of clinical trials across medical disciplines as part of its commitment to advancing treatments and evidence-based care.
