Agfa HealthCare said it will provide 20 wireless digital radiography (DR) retrofit systems to MSF Logistique, one of the procurement centers for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/Doctors Without Borders.
The systems will be used to retrofit existing analog mobile x-ray units in the Strengthening Paediatric TB Services for Enhanced Early Detection (TB-SPEED) project, a joint effort of Unitaid and Initiative 5% to reduce childhood tuberculosis (TB) in at-risk countries around the world.
Implementation of the first eight DR systems began in February, with the additional 12 units expected to be delivered over the next 12 to 18 months, according to the vendor.
