Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU), Siloam Hospitals and Varian have agreed to pursue a collaborative relationship to explore opportunities for developing innovative health solutions for delivering cancer treatment in Indonesia.
The ‘building of hope’, which incorporates the Mochtar Riady Comprehensive Cancer Centre, is a new 29-story, 210-bed specialist hospital in central Jakarta. The facility is expected to be a major center of excellence for cancer in the Southeast Asia region when operational in December 2009.
Tim Guertin, president and CEO of Varian Medical Systems, said: “This splendid new facility will be a landmark center and will provide Indonesia cancer patients with much-needed access to the latest and most effective forms of radiotherapy treatment. Varian is delighted to be working with Siloam Hospitals Group to make this very significant project a reality.”
