Work Starts on New Varian Medical Brazilian Facility

Executives, government officials, clinicians and partners gathered last week for a groundbreaking ceremony celebrating Varian Medical System’s proposed 50,600-square-foot facility in Jundiai, Brazil.

The facility — which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2017 — will include a radiotherapy training center, demonstration rooms, manufacturing, warehousing and radiotherapy equipment servicing, the company says.

The new facility is part of a partnership between Varian and the Brazil Ministry of Health to improve access to radiotherapy treatment in Brazil and across Latin America. — Anisa Jibrell
