Gustave Roussy: 1st hospital to join Cancer@Work

As Europe's leading cancer centre, Gustave Roussy is now the first hospital to have joined the Cancer@Work corporate club, a public-interest association set up in 2012, dedicated to the subject of cancer and illness in the workplace.

Gustave Roussy is committed to setting up initiatives to help employees affected by cancer to integrate, stay in work and improve their quality of life at work.

As a public health player, Gustave Roussy attaches great importance to health democracy. This term covers patients' rights and the desire to involve all players in the healthcare system in the development and implementation of healthcare policies. In line with one of the recommendations of the French National Authority for Health (HAS), which aims to support and encourage the involvement of patients in the world of healthcare, Gustave Roussy has been working for several years to encourage the creation of spaces and bodies for the involvement of patients and their carers.
