Fresenius Helios recently opened a 130-bed building at the company’s hospital in Dachau, a city near Munich. The new structure is part of a €55 million renovation and expansion program that will include a modernization of the existing hospital building over the next two years. Meanwhile, in the northern German city of Nienburg/Weser, work has started on a building that will almost double the size of the emergency department at Fresenius Hospital Mittelweser. About €2.3 million is being invested in this project, which is scheduled for completion in the autumn.

Fresenius Helios has presented the new Helios Science Prize for outstanding research by employees that contributes to improved treatment quality. The three winners all work at hospitals in Germany and were honored for their work in different areas of medicine. The prize, which comes with a cash award, went to Dr. Jitka Veldema of Helios Hospital Kipfenberg (for her work on stroke rehabilitation), Prof. Dr. Alexander Kreuter of Helios St. Elisabeth Hospital in Oberhausen (cancer diagnosis in HIV patients), and Dr. Patrick Weil of Helios University Hospital in Wuppertal (testicular cancer therapy).

Quirónsalud, the Spanish hospital group that is part of Fresenius Helios, is undertaking a major expansion of University Hospital Quirónsalud Madrid. A new, 6,000-square-meter (almost 65,000-square-foot) wing scheduled for completion by next summer will add 52 new beds, bringing the hospital’s total to 288. The expansion will also include 25 doctors’ offices, nine resuscitation rooms and three delivery rooms, as well as two hybrid operating rooms that can be used both for conventional operations and for minimally invasive surgical procedures – so-called “keyhole surgery.” All expansion and modernization measures should be completed by the end of 2018. The total investment is about €31 million.
