Oncology & Radiotherapy
The complete radiotherapy technology portfolio for African cancer centres.
Cancer is Sub-Saharan Africa's fastest-growing health burden.
Over one million new cancer cases are diagnosed across Africa every year — and more than 70% present at advanced stage because access to early diagnosis and treatment is severely limited. Less than 15% of African cancer patients have access to the radiotherapy they need. Every country should have at least one radiotherapy machine per million people; most African nations have a fraction of that. Jos•Hansen is systematically closing this gap — delivering, installing and maintaining the continent's most advanced radiotherapy systems.
Site commissioning and physics setup.
Every radiotherapy installation begins with a comprehensive site survey — civil works requirements, radiation shielding design, equipment layout planning and regulatory pre-approval. Our certified medical physicists manage the full commissioning process: beam data acquisition, treatment planning system integration, acceptance testing and regulatory submission. No system goes clinical without our sign-off.
Precision beam delivery with real-time tracking.
Modern radiotherapy demands sub-millimetre accuracy. Our installed systems — CyberKnife, TrueBeam and Radixact — each deploy real-time imaging to verify and correct tumour position continuously during treatment. Patients receive the prescribed dose precisely where it is needed, with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. This is the standard we insist on for every patient in Africa.
Quality assurance throughout the equipment lifecycle.
PTW dosimetry systems, machine log analysis and patient-specific QA are not optional extras — they are the clinical and regulatory foundation of every radiotherapy programme. Jos•Hansen provides the full QA toolchain, trains local physicists to run it, and audits programme quality on a scheduled basis. When regulators come to inspect, our customers are ready.
What Jos•Hansen delivers beyond the machine.
Supplying the equipment is step one. The clinical programme only works when commissioning, physics, training and service are executed to the same standard.
Turnkey commissioning
From site survey and civil requirements through shielding design, beam data acquisition, TPS integration and regulatory submission — our certified medical physicists manage the full process. No system treats a patient without our acceptance sign-off.
Multi-vendor independence
We supply Accuray, Varian, Elekta and PTW — advising on the system that fits your patient volume and clinical programme, not a manufacturer's sales quota. Our recommendation is always clinical, not commercial.
Post-warranty lifecycle continuity
When manufacturer service contracts expire, Jos•Hansen continues. Planned maintenance, QA audits and genuine spare parts sourcing sustain radiotherapy systems for 5–10 years beyond the standard OEM support period.
Regulatory compliance support
We prepare radiation safety assessments, equipment qualification reports and QA programme documentation for submission to national regulatory authorities across East and Southern Africa.
Measurable clinical performance.
Every system we install is measured against published clinical and dosimetric standards. These are the numbers your medical physicists and clinical governance teams will audit.
End-to-end targeting accuracy of CyberKnife S7 and TrueBeam, measured to ISO 9283 — the international standard for industrial robot repeatability applied to radiosurgery.
Local control rates for radiosurgery across selected indications, consistent across peer-reviewed clinical literature (Int J Radiation Oncology, 2019–2024).
Reduction in mean dose to organs at risk with IMRT and VMAT compared to conventional 3D conformal radiotherapy, per published dosimetric studies.
The complete oncology technology portfolio.
From robotic radiosurgery and helical TomoTherapy to high-dose-rate brachytherapy and full dosimetry QA — Jos•Hansen supplies, installs and supports the entire radiotherapy technology stack for African cancer centres.
Global manufacturers. African execution.
Every product we supply is sourced from world-class manufacturers and backed by Jos•Hansen's local installation, training and service capability across East and Southern Africa.
