GenesisCare, the largest private provider of radiotherapy services in Australia and the UK, today announced the completion of the acquisition of the leading Spanish private cancer service provider, IMOncology.

As the leading provider in Spain, IMOncology operates 12 treatment centres in 5 regions including Madrid, Sevilla, Murcia, Alicante and Castilla la Mancha.The well-established healthcare network provides high quality radiotherapy services and medical oncology services for both privately insured patients and on behalf of the Spanish National Health Service.

With this acquisition GenesisCare will treat more than 26,000 cancer patients a year across Australia, UK and Spain.

Marian Isach, General Director of Operations for IMOncology, said “For 25 years, we have been committed to delivering personalised patient care while leading the way with new treatment techniques of radiotherapy. Our partnership with GenesisCare will allow us to share knowledge and skills to enable a stronger, coordinated approach to cancer care in Spain”.

Corporate General Director of IMOncology Pablo Jiménez-Herrera, added that he is looking forward to seeing the positive outcomes for patients, doctors, staff and partner hospitals.

“Investment in the latest technology and treatment techniques, along with training and education for staff, will help us to develop a more integrated cancer service. We are truly excited as we enter into the next stage of our development with GenesisCare in Spain,” Mr Jimenez-Herrera said.

GenesisCare Managing Director, Dan Collins, explained that by sharing knowledge and best practice the organisation will continue to improve cancer care for patients across the world.

“At GenesisCare we are always looking for ways to improve our service to patients. Collaborating with IMOncology will help us to achieve our shared vision to deliver high quality treatment to ensure that all patients receive the best care outcomes when they need it,” Mr Collins said.

The expansion by GenesisCare into Spain and Western Europe is a natural step for the organisation following on from the commencement of operations in the United Kingdom with its acquisition of Cancer Partners UK 12 months ago.
