What Dolnośląskie Centrum Chorób Płuc does

Dolnośląskie Centrum Onkologii, Pulmonologii i Hematologii (DCOPiH), formerly known as Dolnośląskie Centrum Chorób Płuc, is a public multidisciplinary healthcare institution headquartered at Plac Ludwika Hirszfelda 12 in Wrocław, Poland. Founded in 1954 and celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2024, it serves as the primary regional cancer and respiratory care center for the Lower Silesia Voivodeship, providing inpatient and outpatient care across three core specialties: oncology (surgical, medical, and radiation), pulmonology, and hematology (including blood disorders and bone marrow transplants). The institution pioneered the first modern radiotherapy branch network in Poland, operating satellite facilities across the Lower Silesia region to extend treatment access beyond the main hospital.

DCOPiH supplements its core clinical infrastructure with a portfolio of digital patient-facing platforms and care coordination services. These include the DILO electronic oncological patient registration system (dilo.dcopih.pl) for first-visit scheduling under Poland's oncology package framework, the OnkoScope patient information portal covering diagnostic and treatment pathways, and the Onkoedukator online health education platform (operating under the honorary patronage of the Patient Rights Ombudsman). A structured Oncology Care Coordinator system organizes named coordinators by tumor type — covering sarcomas/melanomas, hematology, gynecological cancers, gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancer, lung cancer, urology, and head/neck cancers — to manage scheduling and cross-departmental care navigation. The institution also operates an Early-Phase Clinical Trials Center and a Research & Development Project Center, supporting clinical research activity.

The institution's revenue model is structured around Poland's public healthcare system. Services are reimbursed primarily through contracts with the National Health Fund (NFZ), supplemented by institutional support from the Ministry of Health (Ministerstwo Zdrowia) and the Marshal's Office of the Lower Silesia Voivodeship (Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Dolnośląskiego). A commercial services offering is referenced on the institution's website but is not publicly priced. The center holds European-level credentials including ECIBC certification from the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer and participates in the IPAAC (Innovation Partnership for Action Against Cancer) joint action. A new hospital facility (Nowy Szpital) is currently under construction, signaling continued capital investment in institutional capacity.

Core offering

DCOPiH is a multidisciplinary specialty hospital delivering inpatient and outpatient care across oncology (including surgical, medical, and radiation oncology, plus brachytherapy), pulmonology (lung diseases and respiratory care, including anti-smoking counseling), and hematology (blood disorders and bone marrow transplants). The hospital operates a regional network of radiotherapy satellite branches across Lower Silesia and supplements clinical care with digital patient services including DILO electronic oncological registration, the OnkoScope patient information portal, and the Onkoedukator online cancer education platform.

Product overview

DCOPIH is a multidisciplinary hospital offering a unified set of inpatient and outpatient medical services across three core disciplines: oncology (surgical, medical, and radiation oncology), pulmonology, and hematology. The hospital's core offering is its clinical care infrastructure — wards, operating theaters, diagnostic units, and specialist clinics. This core is extended by three digital platforms: the DILO electronic oncological registration system (enabling first-visit patients to apply for oncology appointments online), the OnkoScope patient information portal covering the oncological package, and the Onkoedukator online education and cancer prevention platform. Additionally, the hospital provides dedicated Oncology Care Coordinators organized by tumor type, who guide patients through scheduling and cross-departmental care. The portfolio is best described as a hospital-plus-digital-services model, where physical clinical services form the core, supplemented by patient-facing digital tools and care coordination modules.
