Over the last 25 years, the healthcare business unit at EML has grown to become one of the leaders in the provision of medical technologies to the health sector both for private and public institutions in Zambia.

We are proud to be the first company operating in the healthcare sector to have installed a1.5 tesla MRI scanner in Zambia, this unit is still considered to this date to be the reference site in Zambia in terms of image quality after 10 years of operation. We are at the same time the first company to have installed a linear accelerator, two brachytherapy units and a cobalt 60 machine for the treatment of cancer through radiotherapy.

The Linear accelerator has been in continuous operation for the last 14 years with a very impressive uptime comparable to what is achievable in the first world.

Our staff has been trained at various worldwide training facilities of global providers of healthcare technologies to the level required to become certified professional engineers for the following modalities: Computerized Tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), x-ray products (XP), Radiation Oncology (RO) and Ultrasound products.

Medical imaging plays a very important role in the healthcare decision making process and help reduce cost of healthcare through early detection of diseases and avoidance of surgical procedures. EML is better placed to help health institutions acquire state of the art medical imaging equipment at the lowest cost of ownership in Zambia.

EML offer products and services for the following modalities.

1. Siemens CT
2. Siemens MR
3. Siemens XP
4. Siemens US
5. Agfa CR
6. Draeger

To support the above products, EML offers a wide range of service level agreements to meet the specific needs of each client. Find out more here (link to service offerings)

SIEMENS CT

Siemens Healthineers is known to be an innovation leader in medical imaging in general and in CT technology in particular. With an installed base of more than 30000 systems worldwide, Siemens is the number one provider of CT systems.

Ct scanners help doctors in their daily work to locate masses or tumours inside patient bodies without surgery, to check for internal injuries and bleeding in patients involved in car accidents or other types of trauma, to study the blood vessels in vascular applications.

EML sells single CT source scanners from 16 slices to more than 128 slices.

The Somatom Go platform is the latest family of CT systems designed to address the challenges of increased workload and reduced budget allocation for healthcare providers.

The platform improves workflow   and operates via a mobile tablet that allows the operator to spend more time with the patient inside the CT room while preparing the scan.

The first Somatom Go in Zambia has been recently installed in Chinsali in the newly built Chinsali General hospital. It took the EML team only there days to complete the installation. CT scanners are also used in radiotherapy treatment simulation. One such CT simulator was recently installed at the Cancer Diseases

Hospital in Lusaka as seen in picture below:

SIEMENS MR

Magnetic resonance imaging of the human body uses 0.3 to 7 T magnetic field, electromagnetic waves and computers to produce detailed pictures of the anatomy and physiology of internal organs to help in the diagnosis and follow up of several medical conditions in patients.

Siemens healthineers currently offers technologies from 1.5 Tesla, 3Tesla and 7 Tesla magnetic strength.

The first 1.5 T Siemens Essenza MR scanner installed a decade ago at the cancer diseases hospital in Lusaka is still considered to be the reference machine in terms of image quality.

The zero-helium boil-off technology from Siemens has made the Essenza to be the most economical MR scanner in the Zambian environment.

SIEMENS XP

The Siemens s XP portfolio includes the widest variety of equipment covering the following areas:

1. Radiography
2. Mobile x-ray units
3. Fluoroscopy
4. Urology
5. mammography

The Luminos DRf is a high end digital system which combines a remote controlled table for fluoroscopy and a radiography unit in one system.

EML is proud to have installed two such systems in Zambia. The latest unit is installed at Wusakile Mine Hospital as seen in the picture below:

SIEMENS ULTRASOUND IMAGING

When compared to other modalities, ultrasound imaging is increasingly gaining widespread acceptance in the diagnosis of a variety of diseases due to many factors:

1. It is relatively affordable when compared to the other modalities
2. It does not require expensive investment in physical infrastructure as it can quickly operate even at the bed side.
3. It is very safe as it is not using ionizing radiations.
4. It is becoming more and more portable and ultrasound services can be provided by non-radiologists.

Siemens offers several ultrasound systems to cover various demands in general imaging, cardiovascular, OB/Gyn, point of care, etc.

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS

To keep the highest uptime for the installed base of healthcare equipment in the country we train regularly our staff to be able to provide the best customer service to our clients throughout the lifespan of each equipment.

Depending on the complexity of the equipment and the budget available, we offer different types of maintenance contracts from the most comprehensive to the least comprehensive depending on what factors are included (labor, all service parts, only preventive maintenance parts, call out only, etc.)

Siemens new vision is to shift from on-site to online maintenance services by connecting the Siemens modalities to the Smart Remote Service (SRS) to allow real time monitoring and preventive maintenance of the connected equipment which will ultimately translate into reduced downtime and higher customer satisfaction.

EML is encouraging customers having SRS capable equipment to have them connected to the Siemens SRS through an internet virtual private network (VPN).

The following pictures show EML engineers performing a helium fill for the Magnetom Essenza MR scanner at Cancer Diseases Hospital under a fully comprehensive maintenance contract with the Ministry of Health in Zambia:

AGFA Computed Radiography (CR)

For customers planning to go digital but who cannot afford the price of  a fully digital x-ray machine, we can still offer a digitalization path which will enable them to use the existing analog x-ray unit and a CR reader to make their entry into the digital quality imaging.

The Agfa CR 10-X will be the first choice to enter the digital world:

We also support medical imagers made by Agfa for the printing of CT/MR and digital radiography images on hardcopy media similar to conventional x-ray films.
