Affidea is investing in Ireland and yesterday officially opened its first ExpressCare clinic in Ireland in the Elysian building in Cork City. An Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Mr Simon Coveney TD, attended the opening of Affidea’s new state-of-the-art clinic.

Affidea is a diagnostic imaging provider and the new clinic in Cork will provide treatment for patients with minor injuries and illnesses, offering an alternative to a traditional, highly pressurised hospital setting. The ExpressCare facility provides access to outstanding healthcare, without an appointment, from 10am to 10pm, 365 days per year. 

Speaking yesterday, An Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Simon Coveney said, "I welcome the opening of the first Affidea ExpressCare clinic in Ireland and believe this will be of significant benefit to the people of Cork offering high quality care for the treatment of minor injuries and illnesses. The opening of this new clinic will have a positive impact on the overcrowding being experienced in Emergency Departments in Cork City and I very much welcome this initiative."
