Improving access for Vietnamese patients to quality diagnosis and treatment of disease
Improving access for Vietnamese patients to quality diagnosis and treatment of disease
16/5/16
Over the last half century, out of the many
medical equipment inventions that have successfully helped to improve health
care access to patients and increase life expectancy, the CT scanner is
arguably one of the most valuable diagnostic imaging tools.
However, millions of patients
around the world are still waiting to receive the standard of care that they
need in an affordable way. GE Healthcare on April 23rd introduced in Vietnam a
new affordable CT scanner, a pioneer in the future of CT imaging.
Designed to be more affordable than previous
generation systems, the new system aims to reduce the typical trade-offs
between quality and affordability; and at macro level, opens the door to a host
of modern technologies, including decreased electricity consumption.
Purposely designed to help
deliver higher quality results with more consistency and speed (up to
twenty-eight percent faster), the new scanner enables caregivers to make the
most informed diagnoses possible.
“This new system is about
innovating for affordability and defining solutions that deliver high quality
diagnostic CT solutions in the most challenging healthcare markets. We hope the
value of this new CT scanner will help improve access for Vietnamese patients
across the country to quality diagnosis and treatment of disease,” said Mr. Vu
Duc Nhat - Sales Manager Diagnostic Imaging, GE Healthcare.
In a seminar in April last
year, the Vietnam’s Ministry of Health’s evaluation stated that the nation was
suffering from shortage of necessary devices.
While the hospitals at district
levels are equipped with only twenty percent to fifty percent of required
technologies, leading to inadequate devices at commune level clinics and volume
overload in patients at central hospitals./.
