Jul 22 2010

The Iraqi Ministry of Health has ordered diagnostic imaging equipment from Siemens Healthcare that is destined for all Ministry of Health hospitals (around 100) across Iraq.

The recently signed contract has a value of around $70 million and is the biggest single order contract to be awarded to Siemens Healthcare in the Middle East. The products, which include magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography equipment, mobile x-rays and mammography systems, will help to increase diagnostic confidence, allowing for earlier detection of diseases. The equipment will be fully serviced over a period of five years.

The Minister of Health, Iraq, His Excellency Ali Saleh Al Hasnawi, commented, “We are excited to be working closely with Siemens to offer this broad range of diagnostic services to all Ministry hospitals across Iraq. We have been a regular customer of Siemens for more than 30 years and are confident of the quality of their products, innovative solutions and excellent service history.”

“We are very proud to announce this agreement as it means we are playing an active role in helping rebuild healthcare services in Iraq,” said Maurice Faber, Vice President Siemens Healthcare Sector Middle East. “One major result of this contract will be improved healthcare for all Iraqi people, and advanced breast cancer screening facilities for women in Iraq,” said Faber.
