The board of directors has overall direction. The Supervisory Board is responsible for legal governance. The Client Council plays a very important role in giving the Board of Directors advice from the patients’ perspective, while the Children’s Advisory Council ensures that children with cancer and former patients are proactively involved and represented in talks with management.
Naturally we have an active Works Council to protect the interests of all employees, as Dutch law requires. Other advisory partners for the board are the medical advisory board and the nursing advisory board. The Princess Máxima Center also has a Scientific Advisory Board consisting of internationally acclaimed scientists in the field of pediatric oncology, who support the Board of Directors in the development and implementation of the research strategy.
The University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) is an important strategic partner and co-investor in the Princess Máxima Center.
The Princess Máxima Center Foundation has been established to raise and manage funds for research and additional services that are not covered by healthcare insurance.In the interests of children with cancer, their parents and their surroundings, the Princess Máxima Center stands for an open and responsible method of governance in line with the Health Care Sector Governance Code.
