A human care company has announced a EUR 10 million deal with one of Turkey’s largest private healthcare networks for the procurement of sophisticated cancer treatment equipment and related software.

The healthcare network includes 7 general-purpose hospitals, 2 dental care hospitals, as well as private healthcare facilities. The new equipment will include linear accelerators, treatment planning systems, and oncology information systems that can improve the accuracy and speed of cancer care.

Medicana Health Group (Istanbul, Turkey), selected Elekta’s (Stockholm, Sweden) Versa HD radiotherapy system and Synergy Platform linear accelerators, Monaco treatment planning systems, and MOSAIQ oncology information systems. Elekta is a human care company that develops tools and treatment planning systems for radiation therapy, radiosurgery, brachytherapy, and brain disorders, as well as workflow enhancement software for cancer care.

Equipment deliveries are expected to begin in May 2016. The equipment will be installed in hospitals in the Turkish cities of Ankara, Bursa, Istanbul, and İzmir.

Hüseyin Bozkurt, chairman of Medicana, said, ‘’We plan to open five new hospitals in the coming three years and to increase our presence in the radiation therapy segment with top of the line, latest technology linear accelerators, and fully integrated oncology information systems. We will continue to provide the latest developments in cancer treatment and the highest quality health services in all our hospitals.”
