## TL;DR

A regional cancer treatment centre in Jendouba, in north-west Tunisia, opened in 2019 with radiotherapy, chemotherapy beds and imaging, so that patients in the region need not travel to Tunis.

## Summary

On 30 March 2016 Tunisia's finance minister signed a loan agreement with an Austrian bank to finance a medical oncology and radiotherapy centre in Jendouba (Business News). The head of government inaugurated the regional centre for the treatment of cancer on 16 May 2019 (African Manager); Business News reported that day that it had two linear accelerators, a brachytherapy room, a dedicated simulation CT, an MRI scanner, a mammography unit, a pathology laboratory, a clean room for preparing cytotoxic drugs and 12 chemotherapy beds. IAEA DIRAC's equipment report, read on 11 November 2026 with the entry updated in 2024, lists the Cancer Diseases Center in Jendouba with one linear accelerator and no brachytherapy unit; OnCo has not found what explains the difference. The coordinates are an approximate point for the town of Jendouba.
