Bon Secours Hospital to provide radiation treatment

Cutting-edge technology will be used at the Bon Secours Hospital in Cork to provide a higher level of precision in attacking and killing cancerous tumours.

The hospital and US medical firm University of Pittsburg Medical Centre (UPMC) have teamed up to provide a new radiotherapy service.

The service, which is planned to open in July 2019, will bring the latest and best radiation therapy treatments to patients closer to where they live.
