The E9 was one of 12 ultrasound systems supplied recently under a managed equipment programme provided by United Medical Enterprises and GE Healthcare, which ensures that medical equipment is always fully maintained and updated to meet current and evolving clinical requirements.

Other modalities covered under the programme are MR, CT, digital and analogue radiology, x-ray mobile units, fluoroscopy, vascular x-ray and nuclear medicine systems.

Superintendent sonographer Don Jayasinghe commented: “We are very pleased with the GE Ultrasound machines supplied under the PFI agreement. Scanners are very user friendly and produce very good images.”
