The agreement on which work has already begun, covers a feasibility study aimed at assessing the technical, operational, regulatory, financial and organisational conditions necessary for the potential launch of a pilot screening programme in the country.

The study will include operational workflow definition, laboratory and logistics assessment, legal and regulatory review, financial modelling, funding-strategy analysis and an in-country mission by Hospitex representatives. At the end of the assignment, Hospitex will deliver an Operational Project Document intended to support institutional review and the potential structuring of the next phase.

Subject to the positive outcome of the feasibility study and to the completion of the required institutional and contractual steps, the parties plan to evaluate a first implementation phase for an estimated value of approximately €1 million.

Urine24 is the screening model developed by Hospitex International to facilitate the early detection of urinary tract cancers through a modular and scalable pathway, adapted for deployment in healthcare systems with varying levels of infrastructure and diagnostic capabilities .
