Government PLN 300 million for the expansion of the Oncology Center
In the presence of Marshal Piotr Całbecki, the director of the regional Oncology Center, Prof. Janusz Kowalewski, will today (April 29) sign an agreement for a government grant of PLN 300 million from the Medical Fund for the expansion and modernization of the hospital’s main complex. At a cost exceeding half a billion zlotys, the facility will construct a new Center for Innovative Oncology Therapies, modernize the main building with its operating block and ICU, and expand infrastructure with a multi-level parking facility for over 200 cars. The financial structure of the investment will be complemented by funds from the regional budget and the hospital’s own resources.
“Our Oncology Center is among twenty facilities receiving this type of grant. Out of 57 entities that entered the Ministry of Health’s competition for funding strategic projects, it ranked third! The hospital, which diagnoses and treats patients at the highest global level, is constantly modernizing and developing. It has been one of the best in Poland for years. But, as we know, in medicine there are no closed projects—hence the need for new investments to keep pace with the world’s best,” emphasizes Marshal Piotr Całbecki.
As part of the investment project planned for 2026–2029, a modern five-story building for the Center for Innovative Oncology Therapies will be constructed (housing, among others, clinical oncology wards, a chemotherapy outpatient unit, and cytostatics laboratories). The main hospital building will also be modernized (including expansion of the operating block and enlargement of the intensive care unit, as well as upgrades to the endoscopy department, hospital pharmacy, and cancer pathology unit), along with the construction of an above-ground multi-level parking facility.

The Marshal’s Oncology Center in Bydgoszcz is a highly rated specialist hospital, continuously developing and implementing the latest advances in global medicine in patient care. Its most important investments in recent years include the creation of a Robotic Surgery Center (with three permanently operating surgical robots), the purchase of next-generation equipment for cancer radiotherapy (a modern medical linear accelerator integrated with an MRI-based imaging system for irradiated tumor lesions), and the digitalization of the cancer pathology department (using AI algorithms; Prof. Łukasz Szylberg received last year’s Marshal’s Award in medicine for this project).
