Beijing, September 10 – The National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) of the People's Republic of China announced today that Elekta has won a major tender for seven Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion™ units, making it the largest single order of Leksell Gamma Knife systems. The deal has a total value of around USD 25 million.
Elekta was awarded the tender through a central procurement project organized by the NHFPC. Purchasing the Perfexion units is part of the Chinese government's continuous investment in health care.
With its large unmet need for cancer care and neurological disorders, China continues to grow and is Elekta's second largest market. Elekta has been present in China since 1982 and is today the market leader with approximately 48 percent of the radiation therapy market share.
