€90m ‘medical mall’ opens in Mahon

A NEW €90 million state-of-the-art medical centre in Cork is a “medical mall” on the cutting edge of experimentation with the very best of equipment and staff, according to the hospital’s chief executive.

Renowned surgeon Dr Joseph Sheehan, the co-founder of the Blackrock and Galway clinics, has returned from the US after 35 years, to take on the top job at the Cork Medical Centre (CMC), operated by his company, Sheehan Medical

Dr Sheehan said Siemens had provided the centre with very latest equipment that no other hospital in the country has – and some of it is not even available in the US yet.
