UPMC expands cancer care network in Ireland

UPMC is expanding its cancer care network in Ireland by partnering with Bon Secours Health System Ltd. to own and operate a new radiation therapy center.

The health system announced today that it was collaborating with the nonprofit Bon Secours in a joint venture to offer radiation therapy for people with cancer starting in 2019. The care will be provided in a six-story expansion of the Bon Secours campus in Cork, Ireland, which is under construction.

Bon Secours is Ireland’s biggest independent hospital group and operates hospitals in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Tralee.

Planned for the facility are two Varian TrueBeam Radiotherapy System linear accelerators, providing image guided radiation therapy and intensity modulated therapy. UPMC will manage the joint venture, which will be equally owned by both partners.

The Cork center will be the second radiation treatment center UPMC operates in Ireland. In 2006, UPMC opened the Whitfield Cancer Centre in Waterford, which was UPMC CancerCenter’s first international cancer center. UPMC also operates a cancer radiation center in Rome.

“With Bon Secours, we look forward to continuing to grow the number of patients that we can help in Ireland,” UPMC International and CancerCenter President Charles Bogosta said in a prepared statement. Consummation of the deal is contingent upon approval by Ireland’s Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.
