Slovak health minister cites Swedish experience in shaping lung cancer screening

Kamil Šaško, Slovakia's Minister of Health, said on X that the country is shaping the future of lung cancer screening while learning from Sweden.

“sharing knowledge, exchanging expertise and learning from the Swedish experience”— Kamil Šaško

Kamil Šaško, Minister of Health of the Slovak Republic, wrote on X that Slovakia is working on the future of its lung cancer screening. He headed the post "Changing the paradigm".

According to Šaško, the work involves "sharing knowledge, exchanging expertise and learning from the Swedish experience". The post was published on 10 November 2026 and included a link.

The post did not say what form a Slovak screening programme would take. It gave no details on timelines, eligibility criteria, funding or the participants in the exchange with Sweden, so those points remain unclear from the source.

The statement suggests that Slovak health authorities are looking abroad as they consider their approach to lung cancer screening.
