Cork Medical Centre, VHI Swiftcare Clinic & New Medical Hub
The first new private hospital in Cork in 35 years is to open at CITYGATE in spring 2010. The €90 million state of the art healthcare facility will be run by operator Sheehan Medical and will use the latest technology and surgical techniques, combined with best practice from their successful facilities in the Blackrock Clinic in Dublin, the Galway Clinic and their experience in Chicago. It has the capacity to offer over 39,000 patient treatments per year.
The hospital will also house an intensive care unit; radiology facilities with MRI / CT / X-ray scanners; a cardiology and neuroscience facility. It will be fitted with next generation IT systems, which is a particular speciality of Sheehan Medical.
An additional 35,000 sq. ft has recently received a change of use planning permission to outpatient medical uses. A large portion of this space is currently under negotiation. A limited amount of available space remains presenting excellent opportunities for other complementary medical facilities to be part of Munster’s leading medical campus.
We already have VHI Swiftcare, who opened their largest urgent care clinic in Ireland here last September, and the Health Information and Quality Authorities National Headquarters is also located here at CITYGATE.
