In 2025, the Ibn Khaldoun Medical Centre (CMIK) proudly celebrates 20 years of commitment to medical excellence. Since its creation in 2005, the centre has established itself as a benchmark for cancer care in Tunisia, thanks to constant innovation, cutting-edge technology and patient-centred care.
The CMIK, directed by Professor Noureddine Bouaouina, is often referred to as a clinic of professionals because of the reputation and expertise of its medical and paramedical staff. Each department is supervised by experts recognised for their contribution to medicine and oncology.
This organisation guarantees excellent care, combining exceptional clinical skills with high level of academic expertise.
The project took shape when the Ministry of Health granted the first approval for the construction of a private, monodisciplinary clinic in Hammam Sousse: the first specialized cancer clinic in Tunisia.
Official inauguration in the presence of renowned figures, with cutting-edge radiotherapy and chemotherapy equipment.
Inauguration of a nuclear medicine department equipped with a Simens gamma camera.
Installation of the first Clinac iX 120 blade linear accelerator and the launch of 3D conformal radiotherapy and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).
Introduction of the CliniSys system for digitising medical records.
Commissioning of a second TrueBeam linear accelerator with a 6D table, the first of its kind in Africa.
Obtention of ISO 9001:2015 certification
Development of VMAT modulated radiotherapy and extranasal stereotactic radiotherapy.
Launch of a department dedicated to supportive oncology care.
A first in Tunisia: integration of the Limbus AI automatic contouring system to homogenise the contours of organs at risk and target volumes.
Creation of an oncogeriatrics department, a first in Tunisia.
Acquisition of a Siemens scanner dedicated to radiotherapy with dual energy and DirectDensity.
Upgrade of the Aria system to version V18 with advanced Accuros and MCO options.
Launch of a photobiomodulation service in oncology, a first in Tunisia, to treat the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improve patient comfort.
The success of the CMIK also relies on its highly qualified multidisciplinary team. Every week, a multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT) brings together radiotherapists, chemotherapists, medical physicists, radiologists, oncogeriatricians, palliative care specialists and paramedics to discuss and validate patient files. In addition, a dosimetry meeting enables radiotherapists and physicists to work together on treatment plans, identify problems and guarantee the accuracy of care.
CMIK is also committed to scientific advancement. Each year, its team takes part in international radiation oncology conferences such as those organized by the French Society of Radiation Oncology (SFRO) and the French Society of Medical Physics (SFPM). It also hosts the National Congress of Radiation Oncology, which is now in its 28th edition. Monthly scientific development meetings are held to review the latest international advances and to align the center’s protocols with the most up-to-date standards.
The CMIK is equipped with the latest versions of radiotherapy quality control systems, enabling all parameters to be rigorously and systematically checked before each treatment. This approach guarantees optimum patient care by ensuring accurate dosimetry, reliable equipment and compliance with the strictest international standards.
Since its beginnings with 2D radiotherapy in 2005, the Ibn Khaldoun Medical Center has continuously pushed the boundaries of medicine in Tunisia, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as 3D radiotherapy, dynamic IMRT, VMAT, and stereotactic radiotherapy.
Proud of its 20 years of success, the CMIK is looking to the future with the ambition of continuing its efforts in terms of innovation and quality of care. Thanks to a team of dedicated professionals and state-of-the-art equipment, the centre continues to make medical history in Tunisia, particularly in the fields of oncology and radiotherapy, for the benefit of its patients.
