Health services at the Aspen Medical’s managed Lautoka Hospital have been further boosted with the recent installation of three new X-ray machines.
The new machines, according to Aspen Medical, will provide the radiology team with more precise diagnostic capability and elevate the level of service to the public at the country’s second largest hospital.
Aspen Medical Fiji CEO Annette Owttrim said the GE Healthcare AMX 240 system was designed with complex care areas in mind and its high-resolution 100 micron digital detectors would enable experts to see fine details with exceptional contrast.
“This will lead to more accurate diagnoses and therefore better outcomes for our patients,”Ms Owttrim said.
“The mobile digital state-of-the-art imaging systems are manufactured by General Electric (GE Healthcare).
“The radiology team are currently undergoing training by a GE Healthcare Applications Specialist, with the new AMX 240 systems beginning services this week to serve the people of the greater Western Division.”
These newest state-of-the-art machines came in after the delivery of the mammogram and biopsy machine in October 2022.
Health Care (Fiji) Pte Ltd is a public-private partnership company formed between the Fiji National Provident Fund and Aspen Medical to manage Lautoka Hospital and Ba Hospital under a contract with the Government.
