GCS HUGO is a Health Cooperation Group of Western University Hospitals in France. Its main mission consists in promoting collaboration among these institutions to optimise the quality of care, medical research and healthcare professionals’ training. It also aims to develop synergies to improve efficiency and resource management while fostering innovation and the exchange of healthcare good practices.

This network represents a dual opportunity by enabling each region or inter-region to be positioned on key topics for the coming decades (such as high technology) and by strengthening the international profile of all the establishments it’s composed of.

GCS HUGO supports the Grand Ouest Cancer de l’Enfant Network (GOCE), an inter-regional organisation specialising in the care of children with haemato-immuno-oncology. Its primary objective is to improve the care and quality of life of children and young adults with cancer by improving care, research and teaching.

It brings together 7 University Hospital Centres (CHU) (Angers, Brest, Caen, Nantes, Rouen, Rennes and Tours) and 3 paediatric radiotherapy departments, Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (CLCC) (François Baclesse in Caen, René Gauducheau in Nantes and Eugène Marquis in Rennes), which work in close collaboration, pooling knowledge, skills, financial and human resources to provide optimum care for these children and their families in our region.

As e-QuoL project coordinator, GCS HUGO is in charge of WP1 gathering all tasks related to the project management, as well as of WP8 as it supervises the work carried out in relation to ethical issues.

GCS HUGO also gathers 2 affiliated entities, Angers University Hospital Centre as well as West Cancer Institute.
