Cork private hospital developers sign €8.5m equipment deal

THE developers of a new €90 million private hospital in Cork have signed an €8.5 million deal to equip it with the world’s most advanced diagnostic machines.

Irish private hospital operator Sheehan Medical said the deal with Siemen’s Healthcare will mean their Cork Medical Centre, which is due to open in Mahon in September, will be one of the country’s most technologically advanced medical centres.

The contract includes financing for all the hospital’s equipment from Siemens Financial Services, the company’s first deal in Ireland.
