Historical pathology data is key to better healthcare. Palga provides this crucial data to pathologists, allowing them to make the best possible diagnosis so they can create an effective treatment plan. By collecting, protecting and sharing structured pathology data, we help improve the quality of care, enhance patient safety and facilitate scientific research. Because the more relevant data we exchange, the more insight we gain.
Palga provides a wealth of information and encourages the exchange of experiences and insights, nationally and internationally. We streamline communication, standardise reporting and support pathologists by reducing their administrative burden so they can focus on the care process. We also provide scientists with efficiently structured data.
Palga creates impact in three areas: science, society and the professional field. We support scientists and pathologists with the knowledge they need by providing pathology data. But above all, Palga changes patients’ lives by helping pathologists provide more effective treatments.
Since Palga was founded in 1971, it has offered indispensable data expertise to the healthcare sector. We are the only organisation in the Netherlands that collects, protects and shares pathology data, connecting and supporting various stakeholders while ensuring quality of care through continuous innovation and optimisation.
I feel incredibly privileged to work with the gem that is Palga. Protecting this gem, as well as the opportunity to harness this treasure trove of data for Dutch healthcare, go hand in hand.
Dutch hospitals and IKNL have benefited greatly from this reliable database for many years, serving as the basis for cancer incidence data
I am pleased with the close collaboration with Palga; together we ensure the optimal utilization of existing data and thereby also reduce administrative burdens.
