A&M Life Solutions, a certified public procurement supplier of medical devices/healthcare services in collaboration with Fujifilm, has launched a mobile X-ray device unto the market.
Known as the Fujifilm Xair, the device is a mobile X-ray solution with AI, mainly for Occupational Healthcare. It can generate reports on site for most communicable diseases such as Tuberculosis (TB), COVID-19 etc for chest-related issues, extremities, and emergencies or accident X-ray diagnoses.
The journey of Preventive Care as one of the core mandates of Fujifilm Global, led to the launch and demonstration event which was held on 18th August 2023 in Accra at the Holiday Inn hotel and which brought together stakeholders in the healthcare sector including; experts from the Ministry of Health – Ghana, the Ghana National Ambulance Service among others.
Presenting the product at the demonstration event, Dr. Innocent Ugwoke, Sales & Business Development Manager – Fujifilm Middle East & Africa Marketing and Mr Meshack Opoku Afriyie representative of A&M Life Solutions were upbeat the Fujifilm Xair is a premium option for the future of TB imaging and diagnosis.
“This X-ray machine is portable, might not look compact but provides an easy-go emergency service and is the first of its kind in the industry across the world.”
They therefore urged stakeholders and projects in the healthcare sector such as the StopTB, National TB program, National AIDS Commission Program (NACP) and the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service to partner with A&M Life Solutions and sign on to this new technology to have easy access to mobile Xray and other diagnoses services to go a long way to improve our healthcare system.
“We also hope donors like Global Funds etc would show interest in supporting the acquisition of these equipments for the respective institutions who need them in our campaigns against communicable diseases.”
Adding his voice, Ryosuke Nakagawa, Modality Sales Manager- Fujifilm MEA noted that Fujifilm has one of the best image qualities in the world and one of the biggest medical providers that should be trusted with this new technology. With this new Fujifilm Xair we have directly focused on the screen for perfect imaging.
The A & M Life Solutions with Fujifilm are hoping to undertake more Product launch and Demonstration events for Stakeholder awareness and interest in new technologies, especially in equipment modalities such as Ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI, Endoscopy etc.
Stakeholders speak
Dr. Nicholas Adjabu, the Head Biomedical Engineering Unit – MOH, commended A&M Life Solutions and Fujifilm for coming into Ghana to demonstrate this new device that will boost healthcare delivery in the country. “TB especially is curable and people get it unknowingly. For it to be cured and prevented from being transmitted to other people, early detection is key which this new device provides, hence I believe this machine has come at the right time to reduce the burden of TB”.
Mr. Daniel Asare of the Ghana National Ambulance Service said his outfit was glad to welcome this new technology that will provide a boost to the ambulance service. “We pick a lot of trauma cases so once this machine is mobile and gives us a quick diagnosis it will help enhance our work, especially the continuity of care to save a lot of lives.
