A formal, independently assessed, three-year designation for hospitals, clinical departments, and specialist centres — awarded in your own field of excellence.
Many institutions genuinely excel in a specific field — oncology, cardiology, IVF, dialysis, imaging, surgery — yet have no independent, credible way to show it. National licensing proves you may operate; accreditation proves you meet general standards. Neither says: this centre is excellent at what it does. The EUSTM Centre of Excellence Programme was created to fill exactly that space.
The programme is a professional society recognition — not a regulatory accreditation, and no substitute for national or international licensing.
