## TL;DR

Honduras's Ministry of Health. It runs the public hospitals, keeps a cancer information portal for the public, and works with the children's cancer foundation, which treats children free of charge in public hospitals.

## Summary

The Secretaría de Salud runs Honduras's public health system and administers Hospital Escuela under its 1977 agreement with the National Autonomous University of Honduras. Its cancer portal explains prevention, staging and spread in plain language and lists the Fundación Hondureña para el Niño con Cáncer among its partners; the foundation says it leads the country's work on childhood cancer together with the Ministry. Health products are regulated by a separate agency, ARSA. The coordinates are an approximate Tegucigalpa city point.
