Today the University Clinic of Schleswig-Holstein (UC S-H) commissioned a consortium of bidders including Siemens, Bilfinger Berger and HSG Technischer Service with the construction and operation of the first particle therapy center (PTC) in Northern Germany. With an investment value of roughly 260 million euros for the construction of the facility, this represents the largest public private partnership (PPP) project ever launched in the German healthcare sector.
