A NEW PRIVATE hospital has been opened in Cork by Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin, RTÉ reports.
The €90m Cork Medical Centre in Mahon (CMC) will be the city’s first private hospital in 90 years. Sheehan Medical, who are also involved in the Galway Clinic and Dublin’s Blackrock Clinic will operate the facility.
As many as 525 people are eventually hoped to be employed at CMC, which will provide as many as 39,000 patient treatments per year.
The hospital will have 73 in-patient bedrooms, 25 day procedure beds, 12 consultation suites and four operating theatres.
While Aviva Health Insurance has approved the facility, negotiations with Quinn Insurance and VHI are understood to be continuing.
CMC has agreed to a multi-million euro equipment supply deal with Siemens medical technology, which will see the facility utilising the most modern diagnostic gear.
