Siemens and ADRZ to Build and Manage Operating Theaters

This follows a similar agreement between them reached earlier this year, with Siemens agreeing to build, construct and supply medical systems for ADRZ's new Nuclear Medicine Center in Goes. ADRZ is the biggest hospital in the Zeeland Province in the southern part of the Netherlands.

Siemens will build the new building complex, equip the new operating theaters with medical systems and service, and update the equipment for ten years. The new complex will house six operating theaters, which will all be set up in exactly the same way for uniform running lines and logical order to help the medical staff achieve the highest possible medical outcome and provide for the best possible patient safety.

The new building complex is expected to be completed in February 2017 at a total project cost of more than EUR 10 million. After the completion of the construction work, Siemens will lease the new building and medical systems to ADRZ.

"This is a next step in upgrading the care infrastructure at ADRZ. After a period of austerity and reorientation this is literally and figuratively the next building block of the new ADRZ. We are delighted with our partner Siemens, who is supporting us in developing and implementing such a technically complex infrastructure. In this case it involves six operating theaters, whereby quality and safety for our patients are key aspects," said Claudia Brandenburg, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of ADRZ.

"We at Siemens Healthineers intend to be the enabler for our healthcare partners. For this, our partnership with ADRZ is an excellent example: With our customized, long-term MES partnership, we enable ADRZ to continuously take advantage of state-of-the-art technology and processes within an affordable model. At the same time, ADRZ is able to concentrate on its medical core competence. By this collaborative model, we jointly drive operational performance and ultimately patient outcomes," said Sourabh Pagaria, Head of Enterprise Services at Siemens Healthineers.
