Fresenius Helios has opened the new building at its hospital in the western German city of Duisburg. The 22,000-square-meter (237,000-square-foot) structure will accommodate up to 350 inpatients. Construction took two years, with Fresenius Helios investing €50 million in the new building. The move from the existing facility into the new building will start later this month.

Quirónsalud, a unit of Fresenius Helios, is investing about €40 million to build a proton beam therapy center in Madrid. Scheduled for opening in 2019, it will be the first facility of this type for treating cancer patients in Spain. Currently, every patient who can benefit from proton beam therapy must seek treatment outside the country. In proton beam therapy, the use of a high-energy beam allows tumors to be irradiated with lower total doses of radiation and reduced exposure to surrounding tissue compared with conventional radiation therapy. Quirónsalud will also modernize and expand its radiotherapy clinics in Palmaplanas (Mallorca) and Seville.

The company has about 35,000 employees and offers the full spectrum of inpatient and outpatient care. With the acquisition, Fresenius Helios strengthens its position as Europe’s largest private hospital operator.
