The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is turning to the international healthcare market. UPMC's latest move has it running oncology services at a new state of the art hospital in Whitfield, Ireland. Under the terms of the deal, UPMC Cancer Center will share the costs of operating the 150,000-sq.ft. facility and split revenues. UPMC also has plans in the works for similar agreements with hospitals in Dublin; Dubai; United Arab Emirates; and Palermo, Italy. In the US, UPMC operates cancer centers for hospitals around the country through its partially-owned subsidiary D3 Advanced Radiation Planning.
