Value Partnership Details

The value partnership aims to mitigate technology risk, reduce total cost of ownership, improve operational capabilities and efficiency, facilitate digital connectivity, and ensure imaging equipment remains consistent with the industry’s highest standards.

The agreement includes the procurement, ongoing replacement and maintenance of approximately 500 systems for diagnostic imaging, advanced therapies, and monitoring equipment. Among them are computed tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, mammography, x-ray, and molecular imaging equipment, as well as angiography solutions.
